PIRatE Lab's insight:

What is up with the weather channel.  First they decide to start running programs documenting and exploring our changing climate and now they are apparently on a conservation-bender.  Wow.  It is almost as if they understand science.  Who would have thunk?

Kangaroo scrotums in short supply in Australia after rain sends them bounding

Kangaroo scrotums in short supply in Australia after rain sends them bounding | Sustainability Science | Scoop.it
Kangaroo scrotums are reportedly in short supply in Australia after constant heavy rain drove the animals beyond the range of shooters.
PIRatE Lab's insight:

When we discuss about climate change or "global weirding", we normally talk about coastal flooding, etc.  But this panoply of events can also (apparently) include this.  I guess for some people/critters it is not much of a G'Day.
