Danish badger aggrandizements! Get your masked shrew bigger than you’ve ever seen it! Just take our CO2 supplements and watch the magic begin! Increase whale fertility with greenhouse gases! Larger Alaskan shrews, bird bounties, and more baby whales—the news from the wilderness these days would almost have you believe that global warming is doing wonders for the animal kingdom. But just as sure as those “RX MIRACLE PILLS - BETTER THAN VIAGRA” e-mails sing a false note, the good news about the warming situation will soon turn very dour indeed. It’s true that climate change is speeding the evolution of certain animals, but the longterm forecast looks grim.

Maybe this is why Americans are getting fatter. I had always thought it was high caloric food, but maybe it is the warmer winters?
