Global Warning Deliberate spin alert:

When is bad new really good news? When your Associated Press!

When you need bad news about global warming to sell your agenda, so when it seems to be lacking, you turn good news into bad.

The climate in Northern Scotland is apparently growing milder due to 'climate change'. So the wild sheep population is surviving the harsh winters more easily. This allows the smaller, weaker lambs to survive thus lowering the average weight of the herd.

An angling analogy is called for here:

This is like keeping the fish that are below the size limit, instead of throwing them back.
This reduces the average size of the fish caught, even though you have a greater catch of fish because your not throwing away the small fry.

D'oh!

You don't count and weigh the lambs that have died during the winter in the average flock weights.

If the leaner sheep better survive the milder winters then there are more sheep in the herd, right?

Only the strong survive...
