This article was about researching thinking that animals are getting smaller due to global warming. Many researchers are for and many are against. They say that you cannot blame global warming for something that may be a natural phenomenon. The article further reads, “The shrinking specimens, according to the study, include cotton, corn, strawberries, bay scallops, shrimp, crayfish, carp, Atlantic salmon, herring, frogs, toads, iguanas, hooded robins, red-billed gulls, California squirrels, lynx and wood rats.” This demonstrates that animals are not the only ones being affected but also specimen like plants. The article ends with Yom-Tov, a zoologist at Tel Aviv University, saying, “When conditions are favourable, they increase in size or reproduce at higher rates, and when conditions are deteriorating, they do the opposite. I think that most species will adapt to climate change and survive. No need for alarm."
