This is silliness. If anything, warmer climate, better and more abundant food will make creatures bigger.

How do these clown explain the huge dinosaurs during times when there were no polar ice caps?

All climate grant money should be stopped. These morons could conclude a dried turd once played the banjo singing Oh Susana, with enough funding. It was pretty warm during the time of dinasours wasn’t it. So much for their BS

While humans continue to grow larger and larger. Maybe we too will began shrinking and need far less food and water to sustain ourselves. That would solve the global crowding problem some folks have been fretting about.

The little bitty teeney weenie autos they would fit into would burn less fuel too.

Goog news! Good news! Good news! Yippeeeeeeeee!

I, too, notice all the big fatties. But soon, they are going to turn into tiny, tiny little fat people - because of global warming.

When this happens, you won’t be able to reply to my post, because your arms won’t reach the keyboard.

Maybe Peter Gabriel and Genesis had it right:

From “Get ‘Em Out by Friday”

18/9/2012 T.V. FLASH ON ALL DIAL-A-PROGRAM SERVICES:
This is an announcement from Genetic Control-
“It is my sad duty to inform you of a four foot restriction on humanoid height.”

EXTRACT FROM CONVERSATION OF JOE ORDINARY IN LOCAL PUBORAMA:
“I hear the directors of Genetic Control have been buying all the properties that have recently been sold, taking risks oh so bold.
It’s said now that people will be shorter in height, they can fit twice as many in the same building site.
(they say that’s alright),
Beginning with the tenants of the town of Harlow,
in the interest of humanity, they’ve been told they must
go-go-go-go-.”

And just exactly what was the purpose of this “study”?

Aside from the fact that when (not if) the climate changes, it will result on species changing along with it?

Helps explain why horses’ legs break so easily. As an animal doubles in size, the amount of weight it carries per cross-section triples. For the modern horse that means its leg anatomy has to carry perhaps ten times the weight per cross-section as did its earliest ancestors.
