An Abominable Omission

If polar bears are going to be put on the endangered species list purely because of the prospect of eventual climate change, why not add yetis to the list as well? Their habitat -- the snows and ice of the Himalayas -- will be very much imperiled by long-term warming trends. Not to mention that the Himalayas themselves may eventually be submerged by rising sea levels.

Now, I know some people -- mostly partisans with heavy corporate backing -- continue to deny the existence of yetis. But my non-falsifiable theories, backed up by models regularly revised to match the new data that those models were unable to correctly predict, say unmistakably that the creatures do exist.

Besides, isn't the threat of yeti extinction sufficiently alarming that we should take it seriously regardless of the current evidence?
