Because an increase of 1.4F over 160 years is like all doomy. But, there is something more idiotic in this article

(UK Mirror) Polar bears and Emperor penguins aren’t the only species under threat due to climate change.

Gingers could become extinct as a result of increasingly sunny skies, experts have warned.

Scientists believe the gene that causes red hair is an evolutionary response to cloudy skies and allows inhabitants to get as much Vitamin D as possible.

But if predictions of rising temperatures and blazing sunshine across the British Isles turn out to be correct, flaming red heads could cease to exist within centuries.

While only 1% to 2% of the world’s population are ginger, in the north of the UK, where the weather tends to be more gloomy, this number is much higher.

So, now Hotcoldwetdry causes more sunny skies? Seriously? That’s a new one. But, what if it’s not going to get more sunny?

Dr Alistair Moffat, managing director of Galashiels-based ScotlandsDNA, said: “We think red hair in Scotland, Ireland and in the North of England is adaption to the climate.

“I think the reason for light skin and red hair is that we do not get enough sun and we have to get all the Vitamin D we can.

“If the climate is changing and it is to become more cloudy or less cloudy then this will affect the gene.

“If it was to get less cloudy and there was more sun, then yes, there would be fewer people carrying the gene.”

Get the f*** outa here. More and less cloudy? These people really are bat shit insane. And wouldn’t know science if it reached around and, um, er, OK, won’t go there, bit them in the ass.
