The Karner blue butterfly is a tiny, pink-blue butterfly that once lived in oak savannas and pine forests in the Midwest and Northeast. But over time, much of the carner's blue habitat was destroyed—today, only a handful of populations remain in places like Michigan, Wisconsin, and New York. Now, climate change poses a new threat to the endangered butterfly. Carner's blue caterpillars only eat a plant called wild lupine.

From the Daily Skeptic by Tilak Doshi Considering how rigid official orthodoxy is when it comes to public health “crises,” the “climate emergency,” and the alleged moral failings of Western civilization, it’s no surprise that today’s slurs of choice are “anti-vaxxer,” .
