I have experienced 50 degree swings in temps before. One July 4th during the day it was near 100 degrees. Powerful storms came through and it ended up like 55 that night.

never so deadly RobertEarl Feb 2015 #105

You are wrong, , they were. What "lots of other creatures" are you talking about? uppityperson Feb 2015 #108

Thanks for journalling the thread where science says virus and increased water temps cause sea star uppityperson Feb 2015 #114

You said reason RobertEarl Feb 2015 #130

Ok, and none of them says your theory is likely or even plausible CreekDog Feb 2015 #133

You continue to make claims without any backing "never so deadly as it is since manmade radiation" uppityperson Feb 2015 #134

asking you to clarify and show proof of what you are claiming is "denial"? uppityperson Feb 2015 #25

Asking what you mean, for clarification and proof is "denial"???? omg uppityperson Feb 2015 #37

you said greater than 30 degrees, where is a 30 degree change a record? CreekDog Feb 2015 #61

No, it's not denial, I asked you for an example of record breaking change CreekDog Feb 2015 #27

the 30 degree changes usually don't get labeled as record breaking CreekDog Feb 2015 #89
