Hey guys
Here's my bitly http://bit.ly/pWE7ht
the question was :what was the dominant species of New York before humans?

Human Domination of Earth's Ecosystems

Excerpt:
Human alteration of Earth is substantial and growing. Between one-third and one-half of the land surface has been transformed by human action; the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere has increased by nearly 30 percent since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution; more atmospheric nitrogen is fixed by humanity than by all natural terrestrial sources combined; more than half of all accessible surface fresh water is put to use by humanity; and about one-quarter of the bird species on Earth have been driven to extinction. By these and other standards, it is clear that we live on a human-dominated planet.

I still feel cold, but it seems a lot warmer than before.
Anybody agree?
