Invasive species...NOT

I have been doing my usual things such as saving the world.  I got to thinking that with global warming, melting polar caps and loss of glaciers, even more changes are on the way. 
With the global increas in carbon to 387 PPM and the global rise in temperature of 1 degree Celcius, we have to look at animals and plants differently.  In the USA a lot of money is spent on 'invasive species, Horses in New Mexico, Kudzu in Georgia, China Berries everywhere, Canadian Geese here in Baltimore and Zebra Mollusk, and Blue channel Catfish in Patapsco rivers.  It is time for a rethink.

As human we tend to move from place to place too!  Some of us are considered aliens, illegal or otherwise ;). 

Instead of focusng on invasive species, lets rethink and realize that these animals, plants, and insects thrive because USA and the states they are living in  are now their new homes.  So instead of spending money to  eliminate or remove our 'new neighbors' let's do this.  Embrace the changes and work with our new neighbors.
