Could be something to it, the average brain size of a Leftist agenda-driven media person has shrunk glaringly of recent. ;-)

"The theory is as things get warmer they don't need to grow as large."

Well, science reveals over the last ten years that "things" are not "getting warmer" after all, so there goes that theory.

I wonder how these idiots explain the new species that are being discovered...ALL THE TIME?

What’s an AGW whore to do? Just like Obama, all they can do is scream even louder now that they know people see this entire movement as complete B.S.

Darn that Darwin! ; )

It's been going on for hundreds of millions of years.

But let's pretend that it hasn't.

That way we can call it a "crisis" and not let it go to waste.

99.99% of all species (plant & animal) are extinct already. They need to get over it. They won't be happy until we are extinct.

...a little like wool sweaters that shrink when washed in hot water.

Wow...

I’ll bet a little bird told them. I’ve got a bird for them.

Of course, God sending curses is completely out of the equation.

Study blames global warming for shrinking species ('Natural selection' at work?)

They are wrong!

My doctor let me know that my shrinking is solely due to the cushions in my vertebrae wearing out.

"The theory is as things get warmer they don't need to grow as large."

Should I point out that the warmest times in our planet's history was also when animals grew the largest?

Nah!

The proper response when your opponent is hanging themselves is, "Nice rope. Care for a chair?"

AGW freakazoid reports are always peppered with less than positive words like might, could, possibly, perhaps, etc. Many things are possible but few are likely.

Shrinkage again!

"The theory is as things get warmer they don't need to grow as large."

Cold water causes shrinkage...

We were in San Antonio recently. To get to The Alamo from our hotel we walked through a mall. One of the kiosks was called "Get Bugged." It displayed all manner of insects preserved inside a cube of clear acrylic. It also displayed a variety of babby Red Ear Slider turtles (Trachemys scripta elegans) and various lizards. I was saddened to see the dead turtles as, while not endangered, are passive and colorful creatures.

Well, it’s called the “Greenhouse Effect” because humans invented greenhouses to grow smaller plants, right?

Don’t forget, all the smaller species grow near the equator - elephants, lions, tigers, apes, giraffes, anacondas.

Humans are still protein hungry, and where they do not hunt, their pets do. The shrinking animal size could be a survival trait to avoid being eaten. It could also be a response to fragmented habitat in urban and suburban areas, to permit more animals to survive in a smaller green belt. In both cases, the shrinkage is the result of human spread, not global warming.

Sadly, it still does cause the GOP establishment’s gonads to shrink (and their spines, too).
