If I'm not mistaken, in biblical times and even in our revolutionary times, everyone was significantly shorter......to the point where my average 6ft 230lbs body would have been considered a freak-of-nature or 'giant'.
This tells me that climate had/has almost nothing to do with our "size" over time. Instead a better diet & better medicine has/had everything to do with our 'size'.
I concur that these failing leftist rags are grasping at shorter and shorter straws to try and keep their noses above water.

The original story was published simply to push the theory, once again, that additional CO2 in the atmosphere causes a major increase of global temperatures. Previous research has shown that increase in atmospheric CO2 follows temperature increase, so, once again, this garbage has but one purpose, to promote the man made global warming hoax.

these gm ‘fairy stories’ are starting to remind me of the ‘reefer madness’ studies of the 80s...every month there was a different one saying weed would make you psychotic, make you gay, make you grow breasts etc etc etc
waiting to see when these gm ‘scientists’ start aiming ‘between the legs’ so to speak...then youll know theyre desperate

Where do these idiots come up with this. It was a damn little horse. It didn’t turn into trigger.

Smaller Carbon footprints from smaller people?
The Greenies should be 100% for it.
Maybe even 110% - No! Wait! - make it 117%.

Dear Jeff (CO TIME Magazine) - if you’re going to steal my Kentucky Derby joke, at least credit me. I guess integrity is shrinking at TIME.
