If this is true it still doesn't mean much at all. The sample size of burms with transmitters was to small to begin with, a limited sample size will introduce bias to their statistically modeled conclusions. The study was flawed from the beginning, so do not assign it any value one way or the other.

Some burms appear to have survived, and this will be used to justify what ever pre-determined conclusions they wanted. Welcome to the world of politically based science where results and conclusions are less important than funding and career progression.

I believe that the burms will continue to be a problem in South Florida. I do believe, and it is only my gut feeling, that the problem has been over estimated. I also believe that they will not present a problem any further North than where they are now. I can not state this as fact. At this point I wouldn't believe any conclusions made by either side. I believe that emotions have removed the chance for objectivity from this national discussion.

An inconvenient freeze.
