Thanks for the info. I don't have any insider knowledge within

the "scientific" community, but I do know that the global warming map sent me through the roof. It made no sense. So the already ridiculous range might increase by a very small percentage in 100 years based on global warming? It couldn't even be disguised as anything other than junk science based on trying to scare the public. Who cares anyway if 46.5% of the country (in 100 years) could support burms as opposed to 42% (currently)?



Maybe these guys are not as smart as I've giving them credit for.



Thanks,

Ed





>>From past experience USFW and USDA haven't been very receptive to activist groups if anything I would think they would be more on our side. I really believe that if it was up to them we would have never heard a single thing about any of this. There was never a real reason for them to get involved. USFW`s hand was pretty much forced by the repeated badgering from the State of Florida. They could only blow these guys off so many times. Right now it's more of an investigative probe but in the end I don't know who all will have a say in the final out come. What I do believe is that we really have to make a good case for our selves with USFW because if anyone is going to cut us some slack it will be them.

>> We caught a break when Rodda decided to over step the boundaries of his project map and concocted that second global warming map. Hijacking the primary issue so that he could try to take advantage of this media opt to push personal beliefs and the private agenda of his buddies back fired. The inclusion of the Global warming topic really distracted from what was supposed to be the focus of the article and took everything away in terms of credibility. Instead of creating a nation wide panic, by trying to take advantage of the situation Rodda made a complete butt hole out of himself. It's really pretty sad that creeps like Gordon Rodda and Skip Snow are called upon to provide expert data (based on lies) but it's no accident. If official academic impute is needed there are many people in the field that are more qualified but for some reason it always seems to be one of these two that end up in the media.
