Has anyone noticed that Costa Rican Sea Turtles are looking less masculine lately?
Incubating sea turtle eggs also have upper lethal limits - if sand temperatures become too hot, embryogenesis will not succeed. Thus, with increasing climatic temperatures beaches face either feminization – all hatchlings produced are female, or ultimately - fatality due to lethal temperatures.
When Global Warming and Solar Cycles Collide
My (admittedly inexpert) opinion on global warming is that it exists, but is more likely masked from casual observation by other climatologic cycles.

So, what happens when the popular campaign to “stop global warming” intersects the cool phase of some longer-term cycles?
From Climate Progress: More confirmation that we're dealing with a religion here
If the world lets the sweet talk of denial and delay from the Lindzens of the world persuade us for another decade or so, then, like the snake’s seduction of Eve, we will lose our Garden of Eden — the miraculously narrow temperature window and livable climate that gave us modern human civilization — for 1,000 years or more.
