    Default Evil Republicans cackle as climate change kills cute bunnies.

    https://www.sciencenews.org/blog/wil...snowshoe-hares

    "Marketa Zimova of North Carolina State University in Raleigh and colleagues tracked the fates of 186 radio-collared snowshoe hares at two sites in Montana over three years. They used that data to calculate the cost of a mismatch between coat color and the background landscape. Their study appears January 21 in Ecology Letters.

    Snowshoe hares are all brown in the summer and all white in the winter. The transition between the two colors, though, doesn’t happen overnight: The animals go through some period of being a mix of brown and white and don’t completely match the landscape. Also, the timing of the molt isn’t consistent from hare to hare, so some may stand out more than others. This transition period can be deadly because predators, such as lynx and coyote, can much more easily spot their prey."

    The takaway is climate change will do damage varied and unanticipated ways. Who cares, just bunnies, right?

    Soon-to-be-President Pence doesn't even believe evolution. But then he doesn't believe climate change either, so that's okay.

    I don't believe that what you think is evolution is true either......and we all know the lib'ruls have already lost the debate on man made global warming......they've even stopped admitting they ever said anything about "anthropomorphic".......

    Shoot the lynx and coyotes. Problem solved.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Yes, there aren't all that many of them and they do need to eat. But not about the coyotes. Around here, there's too many of those and they kill off our small game and young deer.

    Sure, that fixes this particular symptom, but balance in our world is better achieved by taking our fingers off the scale.
    Do we really want to shoot our way out of the problems of diaspora, migration and poverty of humans due to global climate change?
