But a changing climate could hamper the ability of some bat species to hunt effectively using sound, according to a new study.

But the sky might fall! But we have to increase taxes on the commoners! But we have to rescind the commoners' rights!

[DonGrafico]

I’ve personally witnessed the effect it has on Moon Bats.

Climate Change Affects Ultrasonic Bat Signals For Better, Worse

What climate change?

[GOPJ]

Yeah, and it’s making unicorns cry...

[Mr. K]

and the enswer to this ‘problem’ is MORE GOVERNMENT

because government is like this big super computer where you input your problems and the solution comes out the other end

[Zuben Elgenubi]

We might as well state that climate change is responsible for an increase in homosexuality.

I really hate the cold but there's something mesmerizing about watching the howling wind blow the snow across the ice.

[AndyTheBear]

I am amazed at how ridiculous of the premise of this kind of study. There is no individual animal on earth that will be affected by what change may occur in the average temperature on the Earth. If any given bat was given a perfect weightless sensor that reported flawless temperature data wherever it went...the data could not be used by itself to know if the average temperature of the earth has gone up or down. Local climates vary over time to a much larger degree than the aggregate average changes, so talking about the effect of the average global temperature is completely and utterly meaningless, silly, and ugh! WTF is this kind of “research” doing using up valuable paper in a respectable journal? The only explanation I can think of is that it science is seriously corrupted by the politics of “global warming”.

How the heck did the bats make it through the last ice age without some knucklehead doing a "study"? Climate change has been occurring since the Earth was formed. These buffoons need to get over it. There is nothing they can do about it.

[TigersEye]

Bats have existed for millions of years, even before the ice ages, through temperature swings high and low that make the current temps seem moderate and suddenly they’re going to fly into trees? ROTFLOL

Sound doesn't carry as well in freezing temperatures.

Bats in the belfry.

[Arthur McGowan]

I’m sure the bats will figure all this out.

[Teacher317]

Which explains why all bat species go entirely extinct every 12,000 years, with every interglacial cycle, and then magically re-animate themselves, once the whole planet is a comfy 71 degrees again.

[Jack Hydrazine]

PETA has a new campaign...

[Organic Panic]

And in othernews earth saving windmills are chopping up hundreds of thousands of bats.
