Gross… The funky dead sea creatures are everywhere.
That ought to smell good, huh?
The record cold in Florida is killing millions of sea creatures that are washing up on shore.
NBC 2 reported:
Sanibel Island’s Lighthouse Beach is covered with thousands of dead sea creatures that washed ashore because of the cold weather.
Sea urchins, sea sponge, sea worms and stone crabs litter the beach for several miles.
Marine life experts say the temperatures have been dropping 10 to 15 degrees, which sends the sea creatures into shock. They can’t hold onto the gulf floor and the waves wash them ashore.
They are alive when they wash ashore, but they die in the cold air.
You can’t escape the dead sea creatures.

Mmmmmmm……… Stone Crabs.

That’s because Al Gore was in shock and has lost his grip.

The warmists say this is because of warming.
WannabeAnglican commented:
This is all because of global warm. . . ,er, I mean . . . climate change! Yes, that’s it.
Silver Bullet commented:
# 4
Its called ‘global climate disruption’ now. Get with it! Climate change is so yesterday.
Charlie commented:
I guess we’ll never learn the reason for this as the offices of the leading experts on global warming are located in the UK, which have been shut down due to record amounts of snow.
Bobbi commented:
I live in Southeast Florida, and it was down around 22 degrees Fahrenheit, for quite a few days at a stretch. We actually had to use our heater. We found out it was broken, and had to bake early mornings, so that the toddlers wouldn’t suffer.
I just can’t believe that Big Sis Napolitano is now getting a task force on Global Warming, because it is a National Security issue.
The real National Security is the treason in the White House.
The All Real Numbers Symbol commented:
Poor funky sea critters! It’s not thier fault Gore opened his big mouth. (Which is funny, because you’d think with all the Co2 he pumps out of his foul mouth, the planet would be a lot warmer than it is right now. It’s like he has the reverse Midas-touch of global warming: whenever he says the icebergs will melt the temperature drops by about ten degrees.)
Bobbi commented:
sorry. “The real National Security PROBLEM is the treason in the White House.
bigkahuna commented:
Climate deniers all of you…Itsa gloabl cooling coming back to haunt us. You know like John Freaking Kerry…
I was for global cooling before I was against global cooling and now am for global warming…until that sounds foolish so I am now for Global climate change and disrpution because then I can never be wrong… Its called hedging your bet on the stupudiy of liberals. You can fool them twice or 10 times that way if you need !

Watching Sarah tonight the family went camping again as part of the show. Any way they were making smors and Sarah said something like Michelle says we can’t eat stuff like this. Then kind of snickered! hahahahahahahahahahaha
You go Sarah
Ginger commented:
Next week Sarah is a lumber jack.
Conservative Ken commented:
Good ole Global Warming…yawn
Like all grand scientific assumptions it too is subject to change. You see, Gore isn’t wrong the theory just needs to be modified because of NEW information.
Rush Limbaugh is so correct. Anything can be proven with a scientific study. Remember twenty years ago eating eggs was gonna kill us all.
Conservative Ken commented:
One more thing.
I bet more dead sea life is washed up in Florida than from the Gulf oil leak.
Practical Jane commented:
Most dead sea life – incuding the dead from the oil spill – sinks. This floated in because of the types of creatures that died, and how close to shore they were. The sea floor these came from is very, very shallow, and the water is very, very warm. You can’t really compare these deaths to the oil spill, as we don’t have data on the impact of the oil spill on sealife. Maybe Assange will cough up those numbers for us…
john winger commented:
Just great! I’m going down to Sanibel on the 27th and with all the enviro-weenies on the island, I’m sure their rotting carcasses will still be there for my whole family to enjoy.
dirk commented:
This year was the warmest on record, save for the ’98 El Nino.
The military agree. Lucky such analysis and planning isn’t left to this sorry shower, bellowing and chuckling at how regional weather endorses its ignorance and prejudice.
Hur hur!
Sarcastic Eco nut commented:
It had nothing to do with the weather it is all the BP oil spill who is at fault. The whole gulf will be contaminated for decades. We should stop all oil use everywhere in the world, the shrimp are dying.

No…it’s second hand smoke blowing up from Cuba.

I concur.
Florida has seen cold weather of this caliber before yet never this catastrophic a loss of marine life.
BigAlSouth commented:
Pull quote: They are alive when they wash ashore, but they die in the cold air.
Uhhhh, I think they died because they were ON SHORE. They are SEA CREATURES and being washed up on a BEACH probably isn’t the best thing for them, regardless of whether the air is warm or cool.
That being said, the BP oil that floated to the surface evaporated. What did not float sank to the bottom WHERE THE SEA CREATURES LIVE. I’m going with BP culpability.
I’m not a marine biologists, but I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express once . . .
David Boone commented:
Save the sea creatures! Support global warming!
SunBird commented:
#17. Gulf water temperatures here in south west Florida have been running in the range of 55-59 degrees for the last couple of weeks. If you think that is very, very warm for this region, I will look for you in your bikini this morning for your daily dip. Hope you are comfortable because our sea creatures are not. These temperatures can also kill some of our sub-tropical critters.
Zilla of the Resistance commented:
Poor little creatures. Maybe we should relocate some of Al Gore’s sad polar bears to Florida to help with the cleanup – wasn’t that whole thing they used to traumatize the kids over about the bears swimming endlessly with no land in sight? Look at all that land and already filled with food! Go bears!
