Critters moving away from global warming faster

By SETH BORENSTEIN, AP

WASHINGTON — Animals across the world are fleeing global warming by heading north much faster than they were less than a decade ago, a new study says.

About 2,000 species examined are moving away from the equator at an average rate of more than 15 feet per day, about a mile per year, according to new research published Thursday in the journal Science which analyzed previous studies. Species are also moving up mountains to escape the heat, but more slowly, averaging about 4 feet a year.

wonder what the error rate is?

"The speed is an important issue," said study main author Chris Thomas of the University of York. "It is faster than we thought."

The problem is that they continually say it is faster than they thought.

Sea level rise is faster than they thought.Warming trend is faster than they thought.Glacier melt is faster than they thought.Etc.

They do this because they want to be part of the global warming pack.

Oh I completely agree. 3mm ocean rise is faster than the assumed 2mm ocean rise but I'm still not going to get worried about it. And yes as warming takes place I would expect this to happen but it is all scare tactics, no reality or catastrophe involved. Besides things are starting to cool so I would expect the trend to reverse.
