So establishing that sea levels haven't risen substantially in the region isn't quite the same as saying that they're not affected by climate change generally.<br /><br />Also, nowhere in the article does it claim that either rising temperatures or rising sea levels are killing turtles. It claims that these things are causing populations to drop, an entirely different proposition.<br /><br />I submit that "Global warming is NOT killing turtles in Costa Rica" is just as inaccurate and sensationalistic as the headline in the original article. Just sayin'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
