The size of the brain is frequently associated with intellect. A new study has revealed a surprising correlation between climate change and the size of the human brain.
As PsyPost reports, this study delves into the hypothesis that the environmental strain induced by climate change is responsible for the observed decline in brain size.
These discoveries provide insights into the evolutionary challenges encountered by contemporary humans over the last 15,000 years and raise concerns regarding the potential consequences of ongoing global warming on our cognitive capacities.
The study, led by Jeff Morgan Stibel, a cognitive scientist, represents a notable advancement in our comprehension of the evolution of the human brain.

I can tell you first hand that it is a scary thing to possess a large and powerful brain. So this is good news!
Is it official now? Is “global warming” dead? I saw no mention of global warming in the excerpt.
It used to be all about global warming. Then we proceeded to global warming / climate change, sometimes in alternating paragraphs. Have we turned the corner and only have climate change to worry about?
I would not be surprised if we eventually “advance” to climate change / global cooling, sometimes in alternating paragraphs. Then on to global cooling exclusively. At that point, we will be able to lay out the equation: global warming = climate change = global cooling.
We may be powerful enough to deal with at least some of changes which climate inevitably deals us, but we can't change the climate by their preferred methods.
If you doubt it, recall that this is the same group of meglamaniacs which met in Davos in January and declared that everybody had to be forced back into in person office settings. What's that already doing for the carbon footprint? If you say that TRAFFIC JAMS are back, then go to the head of the class.
The brilliant minds doing the study have lost their minds a long time ago.
All this from z 1 degree rise Temps? Wow is climate change powerful /s
So people living in warmer climates have smaller brains?
Yes, obviously, it *must* be because of climate change, and not because of Idiocracy in action. People can’t possbily be becoming less intelligent because the stupid ones are breeding and the intelligent ones aren’t.
Indeed, with the wild up and downs in climate, such as in the Little Ice Age, the record must show big swings in human intelligence. Oh… wait a minute…
Well, the climate cause crap is BS, but I agree with the shrinking brains thing (the true pandemic: Stupid).
No one should believe this garbage, because climate change is not responsible. The educational systems are failing our children.
If this were the true case the Chinese would be experiencing this at an even greater rate, because they produce more pollution than anyone else, with India right behind.
Yet both have seemingly smarter people who are taking our jobs. I say seemingly, because they are receiving real educations, while our children's education is one of social indoctrination.
Is it any wonder why our children are suffering from vast amounts of mental illness issues, along with increased numbers of suicides?
Stick to the older shows. The Simpsons hasn’t been funny for the last couple of seasons.
The brain atrophies due to lack of use.

Oh for Heavens sake! What next? The climate change nuts will continue to up the ante on this nonsense until even those on the left will start walking away from this craziness.
What came first, the chicken or the egg?
Leftism is shrinking human brains.
People don’t use them any more and they are atrophying.
See, that actually makes MORE sense than *climate change*.

I’ve really enjoyed the comments on this piece of garbage.
Add this from the article: “The scientists gathered information about skull sizes from different published sources. They obtained a total of 373 measurements of cranial capacity from 298 skulls.”
While there are data linking race to intelligence —skull size linkage failed verification decades ago.
But, frankly, this data set seems a quite limited and wide open to error.
Worse, it combines 2 junk theories!
Yes. Believing that human activity can measurably affect, much less disrupt, the macro-climate of a planet the surface of which is 70 percent ocean, and the rest largely empty, indicates a shrinking (shrunken) brain. Thinking right out of a shaman’s bag of bones and scary masks.
“...this study delves into the hypothesis that the environmental strain induced by climate change is responsible for the observed decline in brain size...”
Believing in that rubbish is dispositive for being an idiot in the first place. How much dumber can they get?
