There you have it, the "honey I shrunk the *" movie meme had the glowbull warming agenda behind it!

Misguided “science” takes a historic period and says it is analogous to today when that period in many ways is not analogous to everything in the conditions on earth today, including the availability of carbon to the food chain.
If we saw merely some giant movement of massively greater carbon atmospherically as part of massively less carbon available terrestrially, that would be one thing. But that is not today’s conditions.

I can sort of agree with this. Many larger mammals like moose and elk survive the winter with a big help from their large size. Their size gives them a better surface area to weight ratio, which is more “fuel efficient” when burning fat calories to stay warm. But then again, rabbits are active in the winter in the same areas moose and elk are, so who knows.

It already shrunk these “scientists’” brains.

How do they explain dinosaurs? It was much warmer when they lived. (I know, they’re not mammals.)
To: Daveinyork
Many of the Dinosaurs are now believed to be warm blooded.
Thin cross sections of the fossil bone show similar microstructures to that of mammals.

Another theory is that they were more like birds, who are also warm blooded.

"...mammals became dwarfed in a similar episode of climate change 50 million years ago." Also apparently caused by the global petroleum and coal industries.

The upside is that miniature animals have much smaller carbon paw-prints.
