It does not matter that 99% of the turtles will be females. What matters is what each turtle feels its gender to be. There are probably thousands of sea turtles that identify with the dozens of genders currently recognized by the weirdo non-genderphobic sea turtles and with the dozens of genders yet to be discovered.

I’m with you - legions of baby green sea turtle experts turning them all over and determining their sex. Uh-huh...

What measurable aspect of climate is to blame for this phenomenon? I suspect this is a total contrived lie.

According to CNN the female turtles are also paid less than male turtles.

So.... during the last Ice Age, all the sea turtles were male?

Watched a box turtle go all moon eyed over a shoe once.
Was rather hilarious.

“That transitional range, from 100 percent males to 100 percent females, spans a very narrow band of only a couple of degrees,” said NOAA marine biologist and study co-author Michael Jensen.

How have sea turtles survived over millions of years?

NOAA produces the fakest #FakeScience...

NOAA Temperature Adjustments Correlate Exactly with the Rise in CO2 - Big Surprise

Thermometers show the US cooling since about 1920, but NOAA massively cools the past to create the appearance of a warming trend. These adjustments make a spectacular hockey stick of data tampering. When plotted against atmospheric CO2, the correlation is almost perfect. NOAA is tampering with the data exactly to match their theory.

NOAA Radiosonde Data Shows No Warming For 58 Years March 7, 2016

NOAA Fiddles With Climate Data To Erase The 15-Year Global Warming ‘Hiatus’ 6/4/2015

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists have found a solution to the 15-year “pause” in global warming: They “adjusted” the hiatus in warming out of the temperature record. New climate data by NOAA scientists doubles the warming trend since the late 1990s by adjusting pre-hiatus temperatures downward and inflating temperatures in more recent years.

NOAA = Fake Science!

>>So each male gets 99 females to work with. This means a burst in the next few years of sea turtles.

They have been around for 65 MILLION years, yet they are doomed if the earth’s temperature fluctuates more than a few degrees for a decade????

Man, some people will fall for anything.... some people are stupid.

OK, so why didn't the green sea turtles go extinct during the last major ice age?

Were there gay sea turtles? Teal sea turtles?

Guess that means the female turtles won’t be getting any headaches for awhile
