Ultimately we’re paying for this garbage.
First, if the only output is “something could happen IF climate change”...then we can do this all day long on any animal or topic.
What I REALLY want to know is if the Ecuadorian Aquatic Rat will survive!!!!! ;p

The article also fails to mention that the painted turtle has a 50 year lifespan.
What the chances that the temperatures will consistanantly remain high or low every year at breading time for this species so that any given female will produce only clutches of one sex?
Let alone that all the females in a given population will produce only one sex for her lifetime.
Alarm-ism at its most ridiculous extreme.

Around 1959-1961, I had a pet gopher. I painted my name on his shell. He was so tame that I could pat on his hole and it would come out. I would play with him a while then put him back.
I think it is illegal to paint them now.

There’s an older study than this....circa 2013. Nothing new. Should this really be charged to global warming? Or is it just a blind eye to everything else.

I love that movie and watch it whenever it’s on.
The one thing that never makes sense is the part where she has dinner in St. Paul(?) with an Asian guy who was in love with her in HS. Seemed to be a ‘filler’ side story just to kill time.................

"could"
Then again, it could not. Scientists are uncertain.

Could, might, maybe, possibly, and they present it all with the breathless excitement as if it’s fact and a done deal.
