That’s the theory. That the rising temperatures created by the number-fudging of NASA scientists or email hacked climate-illusionists in the UK, may be creating a shortage of long-tongued bees. But why, in the world of such rapid evolution, does this not advantage short tube flowers, assuming the bees are not just giving up and playing video-games in the Queens basement?
Even if we accept the premise of the study, that harsher conditions are strongly selecting for bees with shorter tongues, it seems curious that the alleged shortage of bees with long tongues, and the implicit inability of available bees to satisfactorily pollinate deep tube flowers, doesn’t seem to be forcing deep tube flowers to evolve shorter tubes.
And what exactly did the bees do in ages past when there were no NASA scientists or UK Climate illusionists to fudge the numbers and it actually was a lot warmer than it really is now? They stuck their tongues out as far as they’d go and soldiered on, didn’t they.
