Arizona researchers say that a fungal disease killing off frogs in the state probably isn't being triggered by global warming.Two herpetologists and a state Game and Fish Department biologist agree rising temperatures in Arizona aren't acting in the same way as they are in Central and South America, where according to a new study warming is the underlying cause for the disease killing frogs there.

The Arizona scientists said global warming could threaten Arizona frog species for other reasons.
When the facts don't favor global warming "science" just fall back on faith. Posted by Orrin Judd at January 26, 2006 8:04 AM
Well, it hasn't rained in Arizona for three months. That might have something to do with it. And we've been in a drought for ten years.

It's desert, it's supposed to rain?
How's the snowfall this year?
Last year was a biggie, IIRC.

Posted by: erp at January 26, 2006 10:12 AMThere was a lot of rain and snow last winter. Snowfall this winter up to yesterday was 0.1 inches, which is 0.1 inches more rain that we've had since October 17th. Yesterday was the 101st day without rain. A new record.
