Quack! Quack!
Be advised that the article you are about to read did not appear in The Onion. However, it is completely understandable if that is what you think because the story, which appeared in the U.K. Telegraph, takes Global Warming Alarmism to such an extreme that it has passed from the absolutely absurd into the completely hilarious. Just how laughable is the article? So funny that The Telegraph science editor, Sarah Knapton seriously quotes a (quack?) scientist proposing that the rise of sea levels could cause humans to evolve webbed hands and feet:

because having 73 pct of the globe looking blue is nothing... but 76 pct? NOW it’s time to develop gills!!!!
Mine is already working on jet propulsion.

libs call these birth defects. No mother could want to bring deformed children into this cruel world. They abort them before it could possibly catch on as an evolutionary trend
OK Civ, help me here. I swear I read an article recently that humans may have spent a brief semi-aquatic phase during our evolution, presumably to deal with flooded savannas during warmer periods. They offered the slight webbing in our hands as proof. Do you remember that, did I read it here?
When we turn into fish, that’ll kill the clothing and shoe industry. And what about my cell phone? Can you hear me at this depth?
I must say, people who believe we evolved from rocks will believe anything.
According to the Independent (UK):
IVF: First genetically-modified human embryos ‘could be created in Britain within weeks’
And humans have been swimming for how long?
Any signs of gills or web feet on Polynesians?
Thick fur growing all over Inuit?
