   These people are getting so lame…
   Global warming lured them to shore – that’s warm water,
   Then global warming froze them to death – that’s cold

   The crabs didn’t just live there anyway, they were tricked into coming close to shore.

   Using their logic, the crabs preferred warmer water. Which means that warmer is good.

     Well, typical warm is good, but, as you can see, the human induced hotcold is very bad. Well, for crabs, anyway. The dastardly hotcold tricked the crabs!

   Warmer weather has lured them to the shore, where they consequently froze to death. Makes sense.

     In that case they will not hear about it! 🙂
     I wonder what temperature they warmed their tanks to for that test! If you fry fish in boiling oil they do tend to go deaf!!!

   MSNBC has surprised me on its coverage of the crab kill. It quotes Thanet Coast project manager Tony Child:
   The crabs come closer to shore at this time of year, Child said, where they feed on the seaweed.

   I think coast project manager Tony Child knows more than coastal warden Tony Sykes.
