here is the original article, it is what us intellectuals call a "reliable source"

Not sure why anybody would suspect it did.

Mammals have hair, but elephants, rhinos, whales, hippos -- the BIG mammals -- are not covered in hair.

A really large endotherm does no want to have an extra layer of insulation like a small one does.

(OK, whales in fact DO want an extra ayer of insulation, living submerged in water and all; they go with a blubber layer instead of wet hair... But I already typed whales, and I only move forward, no going back...)

Dinosaurs don't exist for real, they're for getting kids to buy into evolution and later materialism

elephants do have fur
some species of elephants had a lot of it
fur is not the same as feathers
feathers can serve the purpose of cooling and radiating heat away from the body
t.rex has close relatives that have feathers
close relatives of roughly the same size
the study referred to by OP only talks about skin impressions from parts of the body that nobody thought had feathers to begin with
the article even acknowledges that t.rex probably still had feathers
so this new evidence perfectly lines up with what was already suspected
nothing has changed

What has changed is that it is much 'more' probable for the T-rex to 'not' have feathers than have. Such a large animal would have problems regulating its own temperature if it was covered in feathers as the article explains.

You have that high amount of muscle and fat mass, the temperature on earth was generally a few degrees higher, and you're moving around, causing a lot of heat generated from hunting and running etc.

If evolution and global warming are true, why aren't we evolving back into dinosaurs.
Check mate atheists.

Not far from the truth.
