Catastrophy ping.
Goodbye SunkenCiv. It has always been great - being on the forum with you. But now we are all about to shrink away ...
OH...look around ya....I see more 200 lb people than I ever have in my life...and I’ve been around decades....
Everytime a globull warming liar speaks... a demon gets his horns.

This is silliness. If anything, warmer climate, better and more abundant food will make creatures bigger.
How do these clown explain the huge dinosaurs during times when there were no polar ice caps?
All climate grant money should be stopped. These morons could conclude a dried turd once played the banjo singing Oh Susana, with enough funding. It was pretty warm during the time of dinasours wasn’t it. So much for their BS
While humans continue to grow larger and larger. Maybe we too will began shrinking and need far less food and water to sustain ourselves. That would solve the global crowding problem some folks have been fretting about.
The little bitty teeney weenie autos they would fit into would burn less fuel too.
Goog news! Good news! Good news! Yippeeeeeeeee!
Maybe Peter Gabriel and Genesis had it right:

This is an announcement from Genetic Control-
“It is my sad duty to inform you of a four foot restriction on humanoid height.”
EXTRACT FROM CONVERSATION OF JOE ORDINARY IN LOCAL PUBORAMA:
“I hear the directors of Genetic Control have been buying all the properties that have recently been sold, taking risks oh so bold.
It’s said now that people will be shorter in height, they can fit twice as many in the same building site.
(they say that’s alright),
Beginning with the tenants of the town of Harlow,
in the interest of humanity, they’ve been told they must
go-go-go-go-.”
I’m 5’10”, so I’m ok for a while.
Global warming means I can no longer reach the keyb
And just exactly what was the purpose of this “study”?
Aside from the fact that when (not if) the climate changes, it will result on species changing along with it?
Welcome to Obvious 101 class.
“this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal, and people stopped shrinking” Obama acceptance speech 2008
Helps explain why horses’ legs break so easily. As an animal doubles in size, the amount of weight it carries per cross-section triples. For the modern horse that means its leg anatomy has to carry perhaps ten times the weight per cross-section as did its earliest ancestors.
Does this mean that I’ll be able to fit into some of my old clothes again?
What a boatload of Bullshyt.
These stupid bastids completely elave out the fact that when man started Domesticating animals they bred horse to be any size they wanted them, They took the fastest and bred them to be fast, they took the strongest and bred them to be big and strong. They bred palomino’s and other for their beauty. They did the same thing with dogs.
According to Jimmy the Greek many slaveowners did the same thing, but he got fired for saying it.
This theory would be funny if it were not so stupid.
I thought cold water made me shrink...
what’s really scary is... the Cat Sized Horses apparently had SUVs 56 million years ago to eventually cause global warming even back then.
Smarter than Mr. Ed, I’d say.
Simple evolutionary advantage. The bigger the animal, the lower the surface area/mass ratio, no?. It can mean they are more resistant to cold. Warming wouldn’t make animals get smaller, it just shifts the evolutionary advantage a bit to where they can survive or even predomiante if the smaller size confers some other advantage, like being able to access more food sources, shelter and the ability to hide from or escape predators. OTOH, cold kills the little critters off.
