Bat biology, new research

This December 2019 video from the USA says about itself:

Biology of bats

It turns out that warm-blooded animals aren’t warm all of the time! Researchers at Brown University studying the muscles in bats’ wings found that their wings operate at a significantly lower temperature than their bodies, especially during flight. The National Science Foundation-funded team says this shows that warm-blooded animals have a lot more variation in body temperature than expected. That has implications for how animals are moving around, including humans.

European Union attack on Greta Thunberg

This 19 September 2019 video says about itself:

There is a natural solution to the climate breakdown: protecting forests. Climate activist Greta Thunberg and writer and climate activist George Monbiot explain.

The movement against climate change in general and Greta Thunberg in particular have been attacked by, eg, the Trump administration in the USA, the billionaires gathering at the Davos World Economic Forum, the richest billionaire of France and Tony Blair.

Now, the European Union foreign affairs boss has joined in.

Translated from Dutch NOS radio today:

Josep Borrell, the European Union‘s foreign chief, has apologized for a statement about young climate activists. The Spaniard said on Thursday that they are suffering from ‘Greta syndrome’, referring to 17-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg.

He was criticized by Borrell’s remark. The European Greens called the statement unacceptable. …

Greta Thunberg started in 2018 with a school strike for the climate. Her campaign for the Swedish parliament grew into the worldwide movement Fridays For Future.

The comments of the High Representative of the EU @JosepBorrellF on the youth movements for climate are unacceptable for a representative of the EU. We'll be asking for a full explanation from him next week.#fridaysforfuture #climatestrike #climatecrisispic.twitter.com/k9wLAMIkm0

Many European Union politicians are not as openly climate denialist as Donald Trump. They often pay lip service to the need to do something against climate change. However, they don’t really want to break with the global warming causing billionaires of the fossil fuel industry, of the cars industry, etc; who are sometimes donors to their election campaigns.

LYRICS:

Got the polling for Iowa caucus axed
Threw a hundred thousand dollars at the Shadow app
Don’t ask me why it went and crashed
But it’s like that, and that’s the way it is

Shadow’s CEO is a fan of me
And her husband [Michael Halle] is a strategist on my team
All of them worked for Hillary
But it’s like that, and that’s the way it is

Mass confusion, no results are in
Comms director tweeting the PIN
Think I’m gonna go ahead and just claim the win
Yeah, it’s like that, and that’s the way it is

Dems blame Russia every day
That’s the kind of thing I learned from the CIA
No Bernie victory speech thanks to the delay
It’s like that, and that’s the way it is
