Chapter 4

I think where Kolbert was trying to go with this chapter failed. She presented that these animals are dying or in trouble or migrating, but she has no proof that it is because of global warming. Yes these animals are dying off because of climate changes, but does that mean that it is global warming?

It was an interesting chapter, I didn't fall asleep this time, but as I was reading I was thinking 'What does this have to do with global warming?'. Why does it matter if this very limited species of frog dies? Not to be cold hearted, but they were in such a small area did they really contribute to the rest of the world? Butterflies are moving to places they have never lived before, good! Butterflies are pretty and fun to watch! Why not have them in more than one place?

I found the facts about the animals the most interesting, the frogs were pretty interesting because they only came out of the ground to breed and nobody knows much else about them.

Her humor gets old after awhile, it is like she tries to be witty, but it is just annoying. Maybe I am just hating on the author because I feel that the book is just telling us things we already have heard. People talking about global warming is nothing new.
