And now a new concern, falling iguanas.
When South Florida temperatures drop below 50 degrees, the Miami National Weather Service office issues a unique warning for "falling iguanas" in the forecast.
Iguanas are cold-blooded, and when the temperatures drop, the normally tropical reptiles slow and can become cold-stunned. If they happen to be in a tree or some brush, which is where they like to hang out, they might fall during their cold-stunned slumber.
A falling iguana forecast does not happen often.

Surely the plight of the iguanas has to be elevated as yet another painful global cooling concern….what’s next frozen finches.

This global warming is a bastard, no golf for three days:
ORLANDO, Fla. – The arctic blast that is covering much of the nation this week leading up to Christmas weekend isn't sparing the traditional winter repellant of Florida either.
As the cold air pushes into the Sunshine State this weekend, Santa might wonder if Rudolph had steered him astray.
Low temperatures Sunday morning are expected in the 30s across North and Central Florida, with high temperatures only managing to claw their way into the 50s.
For several towns and cities in Florida and the Southeast, it will likely be one of the coldest – if not the all-time coldest – Christmas Days on record, threatening the records set during the chilly Christmases of 1989 and 1983.

Meanwhile coal usage is up hugely in Europe, apparently climate change can wait.
