Headline:

Scientists, funded by a grant to find evidence of global warming on chimpanzees, see chimpanzees attack a gorilla.
Attribute attack to global warning.

Bonus, they receive 1 year of more grants to find evidence of global warming on chimpanzee population.

Stay tuned!

“Chimps are spotted ganging up on, killing and eating GORILLAS in Africa for first time ever...”

Doubt that. It’s been going on for as long as animals are hungry and easy prey is available.

A sure sign that Covid is over??? Scientist are back to blaming ‘Global Warming’, instead of Covid for just about everything.

The stupid stories and fake studies ARE a pain in the ass.

So I agree.

Ah ha! Global warming! That explains BLM, Antifa, and urban thuggery. C'est simple! Why didn't I think of that?

"Experts say the behavior may be due to a competition of food...A shaky theory derived from 2 observations and reported as ‘fact’. That’s ‘modern science’ for ya."

Well, at least this guy qualified his statement with "may". Of course, people that get all their science from news reports like this will shortly go around talking about it like its an established fact.

On a somewhat related note, I heard someone recently put forth the observation that it is warfare that has made humans as intelligent as they are. Even though we are naturally problem solvers, warfare makes it necessary to exercise a higher degree of planning, logistics, and strategy (not to mention adapting or creating specialized tools) that in less stressful times would not be even considered. Maybe, eventually, in some future dystopia, we'll be facing off against Cheetah and Bonzo across some savage battlefield.

Interspecies? Color me skeptical. I know chimps are brutal with competing chimp populations.

They kill because they’re chimps. If there’s “global warming” animals who don’t like it just migrate to a cooler area.

That’s so weird. Because in Planet of the Apes, the Chimps were kinda intellectual, and the Gorillas were the azzholes.

WHo knew.?

Global warming doesn't cause food shortages in Africa.


Historically speaking it was global cooling that did. In the recent cooling period known as the Little Ice Age, Africa had huge problems with rain shortage. This made their crop yields go down (like the Little Ice Age impacted Europe). And when the sub-Saharan Africa kingdoms started having crop shortages they quit exporting crops. They started exporting what they had too many of: people.


Anyone who says they hate the "legacy of slavery" must also hate hate global cooling and embrace life during the Current Warming Trend.

Chimps have been known to attack and chew on their owners, for crying out loud.
