Quark Soup by David Appell: New Romm Record: 11 F

Reminder: Romm's employer refuses to reveal its funding sources. Perhaps one of them manufacture thermometers?

Land and sea species differ in climate change response: study

Researchers gathered published data from tests determining the physiological temperature limits – tolerance to heating and cooling levels - on 169 cold-blooded marine and terrestrial species, then compared the data with the regions the species inhabit.

They found that while marine animals closely conformed to the temperature regions they could potentially occupy, terrestrial species live farther from the equator than their internal thermometers suggest they can live. In other words warm temperatures aren't limiting them from living in closer to the equator.
