The revelation is the latest in a string of events that climate skeptic have seized on to support their contention that fears about warming are unfounded, or at least overblown. Late last year, hackers obtained private e-mails from leading researchers at the University of East Anglia suggesting they were altering the presentation of some scientific data in a way that emphasized the human influence on climate change.

From Ponce de Leon Bay on the Southwest Coast down across Florida Bay to Lower Matecumbe in the Florida Keys -- day after day, dead fish. Floating in the marina at Flamingo in Everglades National Park alone, he counted more than 400 snook and 400 tarpon.

His research staff collected about 200 bonefish from the Florida Keys, [Jerry Ault] said. ``It wasn't just bonefish. It was grunt, snapper, pilchards, moray eel. When the water temperature drops below 50 degrees, that's reasonably lethal for most of these species.''
