Linkfest: BBC Says Great Tits Cope Well with Warming

A British bird called the great tit seems to be doing fine in the changing climate. Great tits feed on caterpillars, which in warmer weather have been emerging sooner. Great tits in the Netherlands haven't adjusted as well, the BBC reports.

Science. Ahem.

It's the Most.

Rush for 23-cent pizzas closes Papa John's stores/ Great tits cope well with warming/ Acting Mexican police chief killed/ Omaha man uses steak knife to perform self-tracheotomy/ Can you become a creature of new habits?

I enjoy the concepts and ideas presented on the Bryant Park Project. They are interesting and thought-provoking. I have a problem with the hosts. They seem so "high school" in their questions and answers. Is this because they are really young and not accustomed to using advanced vocabulary, or is this an effort to reach a younger generation? At any rate, it's annoying to hear a serious subjects treated in such an offhand,flippant manner.
