An interesting article published by "floridatoday.com" reports that winter 2009-2010 was the coldest since 1947 for the five eastern Central Florida counties which hold the 156 miles long Indian River Lagoon. This caused a major die off of algae, the remains of which were fed off of by and caused an explosion or "superbloom" of phytoplankton. The agressive plankton destroyed over 31,000 acres of sea grass. The whole base for sea life in the lagoon was thrown out of balance. Small salt water creatures which used the sea grass for cover now lost their habitat. Major die offs of manatees, dolphins, and pelicans followed, a trend which continues today. The native crab populations were decimated. Of course, there is a chorus of pseudoscientiests who blame it on global warming. I have a few questions:
(1) How can global warming cause record cold?
(2) Why doesn't the "green" press report this?
(3) How can someone call themself a scientist when they only have one answer for any negative
event?
My two cents...Tal Leverett.
