- bwjacket, on 07/03/2009, -0/+4I blame all the sheep fashion magazines. It's sad to watch the teenage sheep starving themselves to achieve an unrealistic ideal form.
- stoanhart, on 07/03/2009, -0/+3I'm not sure "blame" is the right word - though it is some pretty good evidence for evolution. When winters are colder, more bulk means more insulation, and thus improves survival and is naturally selected; when winters are warmer, more bulk does not help survival and makes it harder to run away from predators, and so leaner sheep are naturally selected.
- paker, on 07/03/2009, -3/+6Evolution? Inbreeding? Could it be more than just warm weather?
- Bloodwine, on 07/03/2009, -1/+4global warming is the new boogieman.
- realeskimopimp, on 07/03/2009, -1/+3Facts are elitist.
- j0en, on 07/03/2009, -0/+2I love how MWeather comes up with a excellent retort and David's response is "Junk Science".
- compubike, on 07/03/2009, -0/+2Hasn't history shown was that animals will get smaller on islands because of lack of predators and less food? Kinda like those (now extinct) elephants in Micro Indonesia?
- nick041, on 07/03/2009, -0/+2This pointlessly funded study is correct! The sheeps are getting smaller! In fact global warming has also claimed my cat! She has now broken into 6 smaller cats with different colors!
Why?! Why did we not foresee the effects that green house gases would have on poor innocent sheeps & cats?! Oh the humanity!!!!!!
They're so ***** cute though. :) - MWeather, on 07/03/2009, -3/+4Yep, just look at the cooling trend in this graph. We're headed for another ice age!

Less wool = fewer wool sweaters and coats. Fewer wool clothes = more oil, coal for heating. More oil and coal used to heat = more carbon emissions. And, more carbon emissions = global warming. See? Thank you, Al Gore.
- MWeather, on 07/03/2009, -2/+3If you can point out a time in the previous 4 billion years where the temperature increased by this much in this short of a time (barring the collision that created the moon), I'll give you a cookie. If you can also explain the current warming without factoring in anthropogenic causes, I'll throw in a Nobel Prize.

- raks1991, on 07/03/2009, -0/+1I wrote Global Warming as the answer for all the questions in my Social Science exam and I passed.
- JimmyTheClam, on 07/03/2009, -0/+1Yep, it's refereed to as the "founder effect" that genetically selects for a smaller animal size in an isolate population with a limited geographical range, such as an island.
Failing that, I blame the flying spaghetti monster more than I would "global warming'. - GaltShrugged, on 07/03/2009, -1/+1I blame sheep rapists.
- inactive, on 07/03/2009, -1/+1***** you Sun.
- MatzahMan, on 07/03/2009, -3/+3OH THE HORROR! MY SHEEP ARE SMALLER!
- DavidNiven, on 07/03/2009, -1/+1Junk science.
- DavidNiven, on 07/03/2009, -8/+5I call bullcrap. DNA mutation and natural selection is at work here, not some debunked theory of global warming. From what the science has shown, in anything, we're undergoing global cooling.
- vsujohn2, on 07/03/2009, -7/+3OMG 150 years of data, lets not worry about the 4 billion+ age of the planet. This is all we need to make conclusions!
