As in the number of sheep who have fallen for the Glowball Warmening hysteria will shrink?
The mysterious shrinking sheep of St Kilda sounds like a job for super-sleuth Sherlock Holmes.
The case involves a rare herd of wild sheep on the remote Scottish island – known in Scottish Gaelic as Hirta – that are refusing to bow to conventional evolutionary pressure, which says big is best. Instead, they have steadily decreased in size since the 1980s.
Scientists have now stepped in to solve the conundrum, and fingered the culprit as the new Moriarty of mankind: global warming.
OK, yeah. Or maybe the increasing population is causing a food shortage (which was the previous theory)?
While they’re hoping people don’t decide that pygmy sheep are cute, I’m waiting for the first case published case of Erectile Dysfunction to be placed on the climate.
Scientists have long known that the “island effect” leads to giantism or dwarfism. Hence the “giant tortise” of the Galapagos and the Shetland pony.
This really isn’t rocket science, and global warming has jack to do with anything.
And the pygmy Mammoth of the California Channel Islands.
