If I see another blog entry that spreads the false meme that, due to global warming, Eskimos are now seeing species they don't have words for, I'm going to scream.
It's just bad linguistics.
Geoffrey Pullum does a much better job than I could of debunking this. Pullum was also the guy who debunked the "Eskimos have hundreds of words for snow" meme many years ago.
There may be broken links to media on this page. I'm still in the process of migrating them over.
