Frogs RIP

"Amphibians are experiencing a precipitous decline in Africa, Asia and North America, according to a comprehensive 2004 survey, which cited climate change as well as deforestation, pollution and habitat loss as key factors."

As a frog surveyor myself I applaud this new paper and global warming creating an environment better suited to fungus infecting amphibians worldwide. These are the canaries in the coal mine. Heed the warning. Juliet Eilperin is doing an bang up job on the environment beat for the Post after being purged by the pietists on Capitol Hill for wearing too short a skirt or blouse or something equally foolish at the gaggles.

Nature is forever, and quite possibly all there is. It deserves respect no matter how small. It is the "creation" everyone raves about, but never sees.
