Over the course of the last eighty generations of Pikas, temperatures have warmed half a degree. Our CO2 emissions are forcing future generations of Pikas to pack up all their twigs and move 100 ft up to higher ground under a different rock.
Have you no conscience? Imagine the horror these poor creatures face.
Its no joke. They are scared of heights.
hahahahahaha!
There are no Pika in the Rockies! The Pika are so sensitive to climate changes they were wiped out eight thousand years ago when it was warmer. Those critters they are talking about are imposters that want funding but in reality they are adaptable to a wide variation in temperatures.
Good point Mike. They’re just rabbits with their ears trimmed, hoping for some help from the government. Clever little b*stards.

Oh drat! I’ll have to go back down the hill again.
This Pika story is currently being dealt with most harshly at WUWT.

Haha. Very good point, Steven!
