They’ve all gone low carb

In biology, there is a general rule of thumb that animals tend to become smaller in warmer climates:

Right, which is why most of the worlds largest land based animals all live in.....sub Sahara Africa.

Do these clowns even bother to think before they publish this utter BS?

....laughs.....laughs....laughs....laughs....

There are some people who actually believe this. :(

"In biology, there is a general rule of thumb that animals tend to become smaller in warmer climates"

Someone should tell that to the African elephant!

If it can’t be expressed in figures, it is not science; it is opinion.

No more grackles? Awww...

I wondered why that pigeon looked like a hummingbird....

Now I know........

And since they're unable to fly or migerate or even catch a bus, they have to stay rooted right where they are and just shrink down to nothing.

Look, I love birds, actually, but there are hundreds of thousands more killed by cats --- and tens of thousands more killed by windmills, for gaia's sake --- than those affected by (cough) global (cough) warming.

Giraffes, Rhinos, and Hippos asked to be on the memo list, too.

If the new crop of sparrows in the neighborhood is any indicator I suspect this may be all wrong. The little beggers are as bad as rabits!

[Hardraade]

Yes, well... There’s a funny story related by Kjell Aukrust, Norwegian writer, abut his brother Odd Aukrust who grew up to be the nation’s leading statistician. Using charts, statistical method and deep historical digging he proved, without a shadow of a doubt, that at the time of the battle of Stiklestad not one of the combatants could be seen above the grass and that the only thing that could be seen was a few arrows (small ones) making it over the grasstops.

I see science is still on the same track, only reversed.

[Sunshine Sister]

Oops......should be rabbits!

[GSWarrior]

You mean birds are not really shrinking? Does the president know about this?

Birds Shrinking Due To Global Warming
I thought birds were descendants of dinosaurs.
If so, how could they survive millions of years of climate change, but now they go extinct in a few decades?

You didn’t know that Dinosaurs thrived in an icy climate? LOL! These clowns are relentless in their complete idiocy and they want everyone to know it. They are Cliff Claven on steroids.
