Add it to the list: global warming is now responsible for the average weight of reindeer dropping 12% over the last 16 years.
Even worse, once all the Artic sea ice is gone, they’ll have to pull Santa’s Jet Ski.

THis ain’t science, this is SWAGging at best.
“The ice prevents reindeer from getting to the lichen which comprises the bulk of their winter diet and for which they usually forage in the snow. [Good guess, proof?]
Lichen are complex organisms comprised of a fungus living in symbiosis with an alga or bacterium. [OK]
“The reindeer starve, aborting their calves or giving birth to much lighter young,” said the BES. [The proof of the direct connection is?]
Reindeer numbers have increased over the past two decades [during a period of global warming? Amazing!], said the research team, so greater competition for food likely also contributed to their smaller size.” [Well then it is not like there might not be some OTHER reason for their smaller size now is there?]
Believe me raising my taxes to 100% ain’t gonna stop that.
