A recent study has shown that due to the rise in temperatures all over the world, the human race is becoming shorter each generation. A decrease in the size of the fish by something like sixty per cent has been recorded in the French Rivers.
GLOBAL WARMING is a household name now a days and with the temperatures rising every day an opposite phenomenon is taking place simultaneously- the whole of the animal kingdom is shrinking.
It is a commonly known fact that species coming from warmer climates are shorter. This process is now taking place globally. All living organisms from a giraffe to the plankton are shrinking in size. The shrinking is happening in generations, not in the lifetime of an organism.
It is happening from the scale of a whole community down to an individual says a study published in a US journal, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, on Monday. A decrease in the size of the fish by something like sixty per cent has been recorded in the French Rivers in the past two decades said study leader Martin Daufresne, who works for a French government-funded research institute.
