ginger girlA world without gingers. Is that supposed to scare me?

A DNA expert has has made the bold claim that ginger hair gene could die out if Scotland climate improves.

REDHEADS could become extinct as Scotland gets sunnier, experts have claimed.

The gene that causes red hair is thought to be an evolutionary response to the lack of sun in Scotland. Redhead colouring allows people to get the maximum vitamin D from what little sun there is.

Another scientist, who asked not to be named because of the theoretical nature of the work, said: “I think the gene is slowly dying out. Climate change could see a decline in the number of people with red hair in Scotland.”

Get a full dose of silly science:

So now the big fear is that the climate will improve?

But the real clue that these so called scientists are clueless is that they think that Global Warming due to man made CO2 will somehow make the sun shine brighter.

I’m pretty sure the theory is that CO2 traps heat, not that the atmosphere becomes more transparent.

Perhaps these sad excuses for scientists think that Global Warming would make the planet tilt moving the Equator closer to Scotland.

But it just goes to show the caliber of intellect on display in the Church of Climatology. And remember, these are the schmart guys who are gonna tell the rest of us how to live.

BTW: I did search on this Dr. Alistair Moffat fella. Turns out he’s considered a crackpot and fraud:

Well, that's another thing. You see, because of Global Climate Change, we're running out of news - so we're going to have to eat our peas and start recycling the news.

Post by: Oceander on July 07, 2014, 03:59:32 am: y'mean there are no red-heads anywhere else other than in Scotland? And why would a change in the climate that -assuming arguendo - helped give rise to this gene cause the gene itself to vanish? The gene is present in the human gene pool, it isn't going to mysteriously vanish just because the climate changes, even if the gene originally arose as a response to a poor climate.

Good God you can't turn on a TV channel without seeing ads showing pathetic starving children, or abused puppies. We need to start the Save the Redhead campaign, and it can be kicked off right here on GOPBR

Red head threads have been banned by management. No redheads Please.
Also, never ask for anything to be orange. They don't like that here.

Lando, I'm sure, is referring to the freckled-nosed young lady. Not the anorexic model. LOL!
