SAVE THE GINGERS! Global warming will cause hot red headed women to vanish

Melensdad · Jul 6, 2014

Absurd as it is, you can read the entire story at the link http://dailycaller.com/2014/07/06/n...alots-now-claim-redheads-will-soon-disappear/

Global warming is a strange, inexorable force determined to take away our sandy beaches, our ski resorts, our air conditioning and everything good in life. That’s what well-paid people who fly around the world in huge jet airplanes keep threatening.

And, wouldn’t you know it, now scientists are claiming that redheads may be wiped out in Scotland as the northern third of the island of Great Britain becomes sunnier as a result of climate change.

The theory goes that red hair is an evolutionary response among human beings to a lack of sunlight, explains the Daily Record, a Glasgow rag.

Red hair allows people who have it to obtain high levels of vitamin D from the sun in places where it doesn’t shine much.

“We think red hair in Scotland, Ireland and the north of England is adaptation to the climate,” said Alistair Moffat, who heads ScotlandsDNA, a genetic testing company. “We do not get enough sun and have to get all the vitamin D we can.”

Moffat added that fewer clouds and more sun would mean “fewer people carrying the gene,” according to the Daily Record.

Moffat did not say what would compel redheads to stop having babies, or what would make them stop passing ginger genes to their children — though it probably has something to do with global warming, too. . .

Science to the rescue! Clairol and others will save us.

Here is another story about the greatest tragedy caused by global warming => http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/climate-change-could-make-red-3814089

Let us all pray that the weather in Scotland remains crappy!

In pictures: Climate change could make red hair a thing of the past if Scotland gets sunnier

REDHEADS could become extinct as Scotland gets sunnier, experts have claimed.

The gene that causes red hair is thought to be an evolutionary response to the lack of sun in Scotland.

Redhead colouring allows people to get the maximum vitamin D from what little sun there is.

Only one to two per cent of the world’s population has red hair but in Scotland the figure is about 13 per cent, or 650,000 people.

However, the figure could fall dramatically – and even see redheads die out completely in a few centuries – if predictions that the country’s climate is set to become much sunnier are true.

Dr Alistair Moffat, boss of genetic testing company ScotlandsDNA, said: “We think red hair in Scotland, Ireland and the north of England is adaptation to the climate. We do not get enough sun and have to get all the vitamin D we can.

“If it was to get less cloudy and there was more sun, there would be fewer people carrying the gene.”

Another scientist, who asked not to be named because of the theoretical nature of the work, said: “I think the gene is slowly dying out. Climate change could see a decline in the number of people with red hair in Scotland.”

Canadian comic Shawn Hitchins, who led a ginger pride march in Edinburgh last year, said: “It seems like everyone is coming up with new ways to eradicate the gingers.”

Hell, that may not be a bad thing. If you have ever dated a Scottish or Irish redhead you'll understand what I'm saying. Jeez, I think that I still have the bruises. :yum:

Honestly, I don't think that they know what they're talking about. I don't think that the sun has ever shone in Scotland so why are there redheads there in the first place??????? Think about it.

Well there is always Miss Clairol....

Does she or doesn't she? Only her hairdresser knows for sure.

I have. If I remember right, it wasn't like any other relationship I had ever been in. I'm not sure what ended it, but everything down to who left the toilet seat up was heated. All told, I blame her fiery, insatiable attitude for everything, even for me. :biggrin:

Dammit I miss that girl.

So, if I'm reading this correctly, my grand-children's, grand-children's, grand-children may never see auburn hair. I may
never get a good night's sleep again for worrying about this!

Saw a longhaired redhead today but she was a dog and it would have been difficult to get a picture since I was driving.

I always thought red heads were psyco, also can some one explain why there are no red headed eskimos if its supposed to help with vit.-d in cold dark environment's . maybe its because the suns rays get through the snow in our igloos.

MrLiberty · Nov 20, 2014

dated a couple of red heads and they were the best love hate relationships I ever had. At least when we broke up they didn't clean out our bank account like the french b!tch did. :doh:

Eskimos get their vitamin D through their diet which is high in fish etc.
