"...Florida’s abundant and unique biological resources are at particularly high risk for climate change impacts because of its low topography, extensive coastline, and frequency of large storm events.

  1. This is the warmest winter I can remember in my 50 years of life her on Long Island. Previous winters, we would think it was a heat wave if the temps reached freezing. This winter, I think we only had 3 or 4 days where the temp dropped below 32.

    roflmao, thanks hon!

    The weather here is psycho. January usually has some nice days, but according to Google it's 62 and cloudy. Ummm, no, it's about 75 and sunnny, I just checked my tranny fluid.

    It's dry, dry dry. Not a problem unless you consider the fact that developers run this county and already 90% of the water is imported.
