"The point is that Feynman pointed out the flaws in so-called climate science" without mentioning it even once, a feat only mind readers can appreciate. If he was alive today, he'd be calling his followers "cargo cultists".

Here's a new paper for his posthumous perusal. He'll like it; the mammalian herbivores are desert rats, and the rat running is to food sources which are becoming toxic.

Global Warming and the Desert Rat
By Tammie Burnsed

The myriad effects of global climate change range from the huge and catastrophic to the small and barely noticeable. From melting glaciers to the extinction of a little known mountain wildflower, each change is connected, a thread in the web of life that holds us all. That’s why giving attention to the humblest of creatures affected by climate change is as important as focusing on the events that directly impact human life. A new study published by scientists from the University of Utah does just that. According to the study, researchers have found that increased temperatures can hinder the ability of some herbivores to consume their natural diet. Specifically, a species of desert woodrats known as Neotoma lepida who survive mainly on a diet of toxic creosote plants are showing signs of intolerance to their normal food due to an increase in temperatures.
