I'm going to commision a study to find out if birds fly south for the winter or whether or not the sun will set in the evening and rise in the morning.
This is the dumbest study I've ever seen. But it has little to do with GGW. That video series simply put it "in your face" that this went on. This kind of thing has been going on during spring break activities for as long as I can remember.
I'm sure you could get a government grant for those studies too...
