The article in Nature is getting a lot of press, and this is a fine explanation of it. For access to the links referred to, click the source link.

Last year was the hottest on record, or the second hottest, depending on the records climatologists look at.

..eyep, I think it's the 50's that skews findings

"But it must be true! I saw it on the NBC Nightly News last night!"

There is now a big industry among researchers who are beholden to proving the evils of global warming to keep their grant money coming in.

This requires them to link anything they possibly can to it.

They've just about used up all the easy ones, so now their claims will become more and more ridiculous as they have go to insane depths to come up with scare stories.

As we can see here:

Not all frogs are endangered.

What's the big deal - it's just survival of the fittest.

This junk-science-trash was on the ABC nightly news the other day. Now they of course didn't mention on that show that in India people were dieing of frost that hadn't occurred there in a hundred years....

>A complicated death (link between climate change and frog extinctions in Costa Rica)

Now the truth is out!

I prefer (for laughs) The New York Times online article title on this story: "Frog Killer Is Linked to Global Warming".

I find it amazing that the climate never changed over thousands of years until Bush became President.

Frog extinction?? how did they manage to kill off the french?

[Our man in washington]

If one lousy degree is enough to send 70 percent of frogs into extinction, shouldn't the frog have gone extinct one hundred times throughout its history?

[Condor51]

Uh.. not to doubt these experts but are they absolutely SURE the demise of the frogs is due to 'global warming'?

Especially when you factor in the statistic that The French consume "3,000 to 4,000 tons of Frog's Legs per year - 60 to 80 million frogs".

I'd think that would put a dent in any species population :-)
