The Threat To Biodiversity, Part One

Part One of a Special Three Part Series

One of the many presumed deleterious effects of global warming is the threat to biodiversity. Many reputable scientists and television critics feel the change in global temperatures could alter the composition of various ecosystems around the planet.

Let’s take a moment to examine this problem further.

Biodiversity (from the Latin “bi” meaning to experiment sexually and “oh, diversity!” a phrase often muttered by tourists as they ride a New York City subway for the first time) refers to the multi-varied nature of species in a given area.

Biodiversity flourishes in natural, pristine areas such as deep sea basins and tropical rain forests … and not so much in affluent suburbs outside of Atlanta.

One area where biodiversity has thrived is in Hollywood. But global warming is currently threatening one of our most beloved sitcom actors. As global temperatures climbed, parts for this one-time teen idol have dried up. As evidence of exactly how serious the problem is, he’s even had to resort to appearing in his own reality show. We’re way past the tipping point on this one.

Many observers are claiming it may already be too late to preserve baiodiversity in Southern California.

It wasn’t always like this.

Scott Baio first charmed his way into our hearts (and, apparently, Erin Moran’s kitty) as Chachi on Happy Days.

Early in his career, it would have been hard to predict the type of varied characters Scott would play throughout his life as an actor. After featured roles in Happy Days and Joanie Loves Chachi, the evolution of Scott Baio took a surprising turn.

Not content to play a wholesome teen heartthrob, Baio explored new ground as a wholesome teen heartthrob who lived in New Brunswick, New Jersey in the series Charles in Charge.

But were things really as they seemed?
