Those monogamous birds? Another casualty of climate
change.
As it gets
hotter here on Earth, they're more apt to start cheating on each other,
according to the U.S. National Climate Assessment, released today.
Scientists
have said for years, decades even, that climate change is going to be rough.
Storms, fires, heat extremes -- the works. The research tends to get more solid
and detailed every year. It's all laid out in the Assessment, and it's mostly a
bummer.
But this
bird-divorce bit is an angle few saw coming. Everything is easier in hindsight.
"Climatic fluctuations increase the probability
of infidelity in birds that are normally monogamous."
