Thus The New York Times today. “Efforts are under way in Florida to reduce the numbers of gluttonous lionfish, a non-native species now thriving in the Atlantic Ocean,” explains the newspaper. I was attracted by the words “action” and “predator” in the title, as well as the words “gluttonous” and “non-native” in the byline. The first one reminded me of the recent marches calling for action on climate change. America seems to be dying for action. And any action would do nowadays. To justify action against nature, the species in question is called non-native, predator, and gluttonous. In short, the lionfish has no business on the coast of Florida. The connection with climate change is swept under the rug in this case, for it is obvious that lionfish has come from someplace else because the weather has changed in the meanwhile. Many more species can be expected to move hither and thither in search of new habitats for the very same reason, but the argument will always be dead against them. One can easily imagine yet another march with inane slogans such as this one: “Go home, non-native species!” Right next to it, one can imagine yet another slogan of the same ilk: “Stop climate change!” The two marches calling for action would be pretty much the same in their unabashed inanity.
