NO not the tardigrades! won’t someone please think of the tardigrades!

I tire of the constant propaganda of the left.

Then they need to speed up.....................

There's always a chance that Global Warming could cause tardigrade to MUTATE! We'd be real sorry we didn't tackle the problem when we had a chance.

These suckers can survive in space. I don’t think they’ll have a problem with a hot summer.

Tardi-What-sis? Isn’t that a Dr. Who thing ?

[WKUHilltopper]

Yeah. It’ll hurt the tards for sure.

“scientists exposed dozens of water bears to elevated temperatures in the lab”

Does this mean they brought the water to a boil?

[jmaroneps37]

Your opinion. Go away.

[GreyFriar]

I wonder how they survived past ‘global warming’ events if they can’t survive this one, which may have been even warmer?

I’m sure they did whatever they had to do to show that Global Warming “harms” tardigrades.

Scientist #1: The water temperature has been increased by five degrees. The tardigrades are still doing fine.
Scientist #2: Then increase the water temperature to a rolling boil.

Scientist #1: The tardigrades are still doing fine.
Scientist #2: Then hit the damn things with a hammer.

Someone actually knitted a tardigrade? That is seriously nerdy.

[ConservativeMind]

They can survive the raw vacuum of space without shielding. They can be unassisted in outer space for months and still come back to life.

What possible problem can they have with common weather?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

And right there on display is the biggest problem of FreeRepublic — way too much critical and common sense thinking!
