Torreya Taxa.....what?

The article that was assigned to us was entitled "To Take Wildness In Hand" and was written by Michelle Nijhuis focused around climate change as mentioned in the beginning of this piece. "Beset by a mysterious disease, overabundant deer, feral hogs, drought, and perhaps a stressful climate, the adult trees were reduced to a handful of mossy trunks, rotting in riverside ravines." What stood out to me most in her claim was that she was toying with the idea of it being climate change. I felt there was heavy sarcasm there, which becomes more evident throughout the rest of the article, by telling us there was a possibility of the loss of population being a result of climate change. 99% of the articles written about our environment are about climate change, why? Because everything else falls to the way side and appears as unimportant to people.
The main arguments in this article all revolved around one specific type of tree and how its loss of population due to climate change should be handled. The Torreya Taxifalia is a species of tree located in the Florida Panhandle area and is currently facing a drastic problem. The species has been suffering heavy population losses and many feel that it is due largely to global warming. What this means is that the Torreya Taxifalia have been living in this somewhat cooler part of Florida, and since yearly temperatures have been rising in almost every part of the globe, the trees now need to be moved out of this area and into a cooler climate. The article also covers most of the issues around how we help out these trees, mainly how we are going to move them and seems to deal with a moral issue of whether or not we should move these trees. The argument for moving these trees ourselves is that by the time these tress migrate north to the southern appalachian mountains (the new desired location) it will be too late and the climate will have changed even more. The argument for moving these trees is that it is our responsibility to save these trees if we are able to before they all eventually die off. It seemed to me that the last person in the article made it feel like we were not so much as saving the trees but fixing/covering up our own mistakes (global warming).
The warrant for this article I feel is that the author assumes that we know about global warming and the problems that we are facing with our environment. The author never bothered to dwell into what global warming is and its effects.
This article for me kind of touched me in a moral sense because it dealt with the ideas of whether or not it is right to move thr trees or to let them naturally migrate towards their new desired location. Personally I think that if we have the ability to move and saves these trees from extinction then it is our duty to do so. WE cannot just let the trees die off due to OUR mistake. Global Wamring is our problem and we need to do everything to fix what is going wrong because of it.
