I keep hearing that umpteen zillion species have gone extinct since 
yesterday, but somehow, strangely, no one is able to name a recently 
extinct species.

The world is getting greener and more clement, and has been getting 
greener and more clement ever since the little ice age started to ease 
up two centuries ago.

I see with my own eyes lands now forested with young trees, which lands 
were so barren when I was lad that sheep and goats had a hard time of it.
