I don't like to get personal but I'm gonna come right out & say it, "They're nuttier than a fuitcake!" A prime of example of what happens when scientists confuse theory with reality. (Nothing against scientists, in general)

First & foremost is their forecast of increased inhabitable area in the year 2100 from global warming. Don't get me started on that one.

Secondly, I live in the tri-state area of NC/TN & GA and I know very well what winter temps are like in the northern half of GA, AL & MS. Boidae can not survive even the mildest winter on record within those regions, let alone a typical winter.

Is it possible that Boidae could adapt by 2100? Not very likely as it would take generations to do so & I can't see the first generation surviving the winters. Seems that someone isn't considering any health issues associated with such low temperatures.

Why isn't North FL covered with them? Don't tell me that everyone drives all the way down to the Everglades to release their burms.

Good grief! Will it never end?
