Frog Losses Correlate With Global Warming...

Ball in Government's Court... Okay, you've heard me mouthing off about all of the lost species of frogs
that for me I observed in my country home beginning in 1988.
For those who don't know, frogs are like the canaries in the miner's lamp:

They are susceptable to the diseases that affect man and must be
considered a bellweather for what might likely happen to man down the road.
Hence, when the species are affected.
It would be smart to pay attention!

While government has thrown all sorts of body blocks to the study of what's happened to bring about these extinctions, government agencies for the most part have exhibited a stunning disinterest in man's future welfare.

But now they don't have a leg to stand on. .

Here's the background: More than 100 species of amphibian have disappeared in recent years in Central and Southern America.

Scientists were fairly united in hypothesizing that the fault was related to global warming.

The government snubbed these scientists arguments arguing that they wanted definitive proof.

Here's the latest news: Science has correlated the loss of species to global warming.
The most likely culprit: A type of fungus that had not affected the frogs in the past because of the cooler conditions that prevailed over the twenty four hour cycle of day and night..

In the past few years, a warming trend has allowed these destructive fungi to not only survive but infect the frogs driving them to extinction.

The proof is now in one place all wrapped up with a little ribbon for all of those Doubting Thomases in government. In fact, a scientific team has gone back and tracked warming temperatures to the beginning of the extinctions, making possible a correlation of loss of species with the warming temperatures.

It is now long past the time we should have taken action recognizing that if it quakes like a duck, looks like a duck, it is a duck. In this case our duck is an indisputable argument that the cause of the frog extinctions must be laid at the feet of global warming.

Now, the ball is in the government's court.

What are they going to do now will pretty much determine a lot of significant outcomes that we can expect over not only the long term but the short term as well....
