[Florida: Allegedly powerful blanket of CO2 fails to prevent extreme cold]

...David Godfrey, CCC's executive director, e-mailed me at the time about what they were seeing among turtles. Here's what he said:

"Typically, even in the winter, water temperatures in Florida's coastal waterways do not dip below about the mid-50s even on cold days. The relatively shallow waters are kept warm by the sun even on the coldest days. However, a week into January we had four or five days in a row of sub-freezing weather that reached all the way to south Florida. Water temperatures dropped into the low 40s, and we started seeing the largest 'cold-stunning' event of sea turtles ever witnessed.

"From the Florida Panhandle all the way down to Florida Bay and the Keys, turtles were succumbing to the cold. They typically are not impacted until temperatures dip below 50 for a prolonged period of time. We had turtles washing ashore or bobbing to the surface of our coastal waters for 12 days. Before water temperatures started to rise back up to above 50, over 4,000 turtles were recovered from the water and from coastlines.

Congressman Jay Inslee: fearless defender of climate change [fraud]

“We have seen this movie before, and it was the exercise by the tobacco industry to try to hoodwink and cover up the science of the devastating toxicity that they were involved in for decades,” Inslee said. “It actually worked for decades. And we have seen a similar effort to hoodwink, defraud, and deceive the American public now to cover up the toxicity to the world environment, and ultimately to our own health, of carbon dioxide and other climate change gases.”
