Bearded hipsters certainly got stupid because of their global warming religion.

“Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?”
By passing a law, of course, which will naturally provide for taxing the crap out of all of the other less-than-specks that they can exercise authority over.
Don’t ever forget that con-gress is the opposite of pro-gress.

A week ago our ac/heat unit went out. It dipped down into the 30’s & I was so freezing & miserable. And I am always hot! When you’re cold all you can think about is being warm. You cannot do a lot because you’re so cold. You can carry on in heat, but cold........maybe I’m just a wimp ; )

Wow... well, good thing we’ve been giving bearded dragons IQ tests for the last 1000 years as we may have never known the correlation otherwise...

The anti-Wall St. Occupy movement is presently ramping up an all out initiative, not on smashing the power of the fascist globalist financier oligarchy, but on fronting global warming- most likely using the same or more revolutionary tactics (against anyone they are clandestinely directed to target) that we saw in Zuccatti Park.

I think all this silly speculation on the effects of climate change is making National Geographic dumber.

Pets. Hanging out inside an air conditioned house it’s whole life dumbs them down.

Royal Society Open Science has found that a temperature increase on the scale expected from climate change can make bearded dragons dumber. If the lizards are getting dumber I very much doubt that it has anything to do with Global Warming.
Should it be that the lizards are becoming less intelligent my guess as to the cause would be that life has become too easy for them. Perhaps their position as popular pets has permitted them to become LAZY because they in do not need to in fact need to forage for food and they are protected from predators by their human host.
As someone who has spent consideral time with milk cows I would put that hypothesis at the top of the list. Generations of bovine have lived under the protection of humans and I can not conceive of a more stupid mammalian creature.

Great pictures in that mag, but it has become an instrument for spreading “climate change” propaganda.

The mouse is used to to horrible smells so he probably thinks he is hiding inside a particularly tasty dump.

Bearded dragons don’t rely on brains for their success. I mean, the danged things eat eat other!
They’re a successful species because they are prolific.
