We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
The Earth is on fire, although until very recently, pretty much every notable rightwing asshat was (natural) gaslighting their constituents into thinking otherwise. While there has been a noticeable paradigm shift in the way the majority of them address climate change, the fact that they moved from “flat-out denial” to “begrudging, nihilistic ‘what can ya do?’ acceptance” does little to calm our utter contempt for those who so knowingly marched humanity towards the brink of calamity.
That repulsion is only deepened upon learning that literal bird brains apparently noticed what’s been going on around them, and have been adjusting accordingly for generations... well, those that haven’t died off in wholesale mass extinctions, of course.
Earlier this week, Sara Ryding, an avian researcher at Australia’s Deakin University, published new research detailing multiple bird species’ recent “shape-shifting” physical changes to compensate for our roasting planet in the journal, Trends in Ecology and Evolution. In particular, their findings examined body parts like beaks, ears, and legs, which often aid in keeping the animals cooler.
