Climate change is making horses fat

WUWT:

From The Telegraph

Climate change is making horses fat as it’s causing an abundance of grass to grow, top vet warns.

Gillies Moffat, director of a veterinary centre in Hythe, Hampshire, said the wetter and warmer climate has meant the animal’s staple food has grown more rapidly than in the past.

Horses should be moved into bare paddocks, vets have said, because an abundance of grass caused by climate change is making them fat.

The vet warned a “significant” percentage of horses he treats are overweight because of a range of modern “socioeconomic pressures” including climate change.

It comes after the British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) found in a study of 792 horses last year that 31 per cent were overweight, with vets citing a lack of facilities such as stables and bare paddocks (48 per cent) as reasons. read more

  1. As long as MJA is linking to Babalon Bee we have this article:

    “According to corporate spokespeople, since the company’s unique approach has been working so incredibly well, it was only obvious that it was time to change things up. “Why fix what isn’t broken? Well, because a few people were mad about it, that’s why,” a spokesperson said.
    “Worldly values, worldly chicken,” he said proudly as he showed off the company’s new stale McNuggets, flat, dry, chicken sandwiches, and broken ice cream machines. “It just didn’t make much sense for us to make heavenly chicken anymore.”
    “We decided what the market really wants is microwaved food that’s been sitting under a heat lamp for days,” he added.
    In addition, Chick-fil-A is having McDonald’s train all its new employees. They will simply grunt when you ask them for something, they will forget you even exist, and they are guaranteed to forget the sauce for your McNuggets, “every time, guaranteed.” Instead of saying, “my pleasure,” Chick-fil-A employees will now say, “Yeah, OK, whatever, bro.”
    Chick-fil-A has also asked McDonald’s to help them implement successful drive-thru practices, like keeping people waiting for an hour only to ask them to pull into a parking spot to wait for their food for an additional hour and still forgetting their friggin’ McNugget sauce.
    The restaurants will also be open on Sunday.”

    LMAO!

  2. Global warming is causing more rain? Doesn’t rain require clouds, and won’t clouds block the sunlight that causes the warming?

    Or could it be that the concept of man-made global warming Is the source of more methane than cows are?
