Cold snap leaves Florida streets littered with frozen iguanas
Reptiles drop from trees as mercury hits -4C in Orlando – the lowest recorded in February in more than a century
Obvious, innit?

Now if only they had introduced a carbon tax as that nice Mr Stern said, they’d have been fine…………
But what’s this? Florida Senate to vote on Bill H1217 2026 to ban the introduction of net zero policies and Carbon taxes.
Seems like some of them think Stern is a load of bullshit too.
Does Stern really say that it’ll be fine in February if a CO2 tax is introduced and there are no other interventions, quotas, bans, targets and subsidies.
I recall it’s about the “no other interventions, quotas, bans, targets and subsidies” and putting the costs science claims into prices is the most efficient way of balancing this schit.
No he doesn’t Bongo I was being facetious, but as Tim has done, Stern is accepting the unproven theory that mans’ use of fossil fuels is a problem and the most efficient way to deal with it is with taxes.
Tim, how many times has it been very clearly explained to us, that this is just the weather and we’re talking about climate change. Completely different phenomena. Apparrently…
They are only different when it’s colder than normal, when it’s warmer (or wetter, drier, etc) then they are the same phenomena
I’ve got one of my granddaughters working on a sarcasm emoji, mate, I just can’t convey it in writing…
(_!_)
Yes. It seems there is no weather component to climate change. It occurs independent of weather.
It’s important to maintain the distinction, weather can only be predicted a few days out. Climate Catastrophe™ is predictable to within 0.1 degrees a century away. Get with the program people!
LANGUAGE OF THE SEASONS
Living among orchards, we are ruled
By the four seasons necessarily:
This from unseasonable frosts we learn
Or from usurping suns and haggard flowers
Legitimist our disapproval.
Weather we knew, not seasons, in the city
While, seasonless, orange and orchid shone.
Knew it by heavy overcoat or light.
Framed love in later terminologies
Than here, where we report how weight of snow
Or weight of fruit, tears branches from the tree.
Robert Graves
Given they are an invasive species, this is an improvement, as collecting and euthanising them just got easier. I believe the new guy in New York has had similar success with down and outs.
Are the iguanas from Cuba ?
I bet they run cartels in big juicy flies.
“First you getta da insects, then you get the nice branch in tree…”
Thanks, Julia, for helping me beat the online censor algorithms that seem to be everywhere now. First they were illegals, then undocumented, then asylum seekers and now – iguanas!!!
Well that’s tea sorted
I’ve heard iguanas make for some good eating. That just makes them easier to catch.
There’s a solid reason they’re called “chicken of the trees” in the Caribbean…
Also Florida Bush BBQ material, etc..
“You can live on it, but it tastes like shit.”
Mick Dundee on goannas (not quite the same animal, but close!)
“Not quite” is an understatement…
Goannas are monitor lizards… Y’know.. the predatory, carrion-loving wastebins of Nature.
Like rats, they’re *edible* if prepared with enough care, but definitely not your first choice.
Iguanas are *mostly* vegetarian, a completely different family of lizards, and are Good Eatin’ ..
And very much not native to Australia…
Get with the program, its climate change now, has been ever since about 2010 when the extremely cold weather across Europe made ‘global warming’ a mockery. Cue a quick PR change to ‘climate change’, a far more flexible concept. Now anything other than entirely temperate weather is ‘proof’ they are right. In fact it can never be disproved. I could argue social media is causing climate change and there’s no way of proving it isn’t.
When are you going to accept Tim that you’ve been had?
Richard Feynman gave a great talk on the scientific method back in 1964.
https://youtu.be/EYPapE-3FRw?si=KuUbo4hSEwImLT9t
What we learn in the first 60 seconds of his talk illustrates how the scientific method was not applied to the science of “Global Warming”. By six and a half minutes the lack of any means to disprove teaches us that “Climate Change” obviously fails to follow the scientific method too.
Any one else remember an identical story from about 20 years back?
And if they’re an invasive species, it’d explain why they aren’t indigenous. There was another, similar one about frozen alligators, more recently. So do the alligators revive more rapidly & start tucking into the iguanas?
Pity we don’t have a nice cold winter here in Oz to freeze the damn crocodiles which we’re told are expanding south towards me in Brisbane.
But of course the real cause of the trouble is that the crocs are now deemed to be beautiful gifts of nature that should be strongly protected. Indeed even the pollies who think something should be done just suggest culling. Instead of simply declaring them vermin, to be shot on sight as they were in the good old days.
No doubt frozen iguanas make perfectly good fuel (if there are wood-burners in Florida).
Not exactly fossil fuels – though there are some people who doubt that all fossil fuels really are fossil fuels anyway.
Solid? I don’t think so. Do they shatter when they hit the sidewalk?
No, most aren’t dead and will revive if warmed up.
Sort of like boiling a frog slowly
The frozen iguanas falling out of trees story happens every year, just in time for Valentine’s Day.
Interesting. Now posit a cause & effect. Romance requires frozen iguanas? Or is the thawing sets it off?
High-protein free food supplement… Just about right for males to get frisky, and for the females who’ve already caught to get some extra in for the first trimester…
That *very distinct* mid-September to early November wave with a hella lot of B’days….
I think it’s a form of birth control as it’s a bit off-putting as regards romance..
It doesn’t matter how many times they get caught out climate scientists still believe those damned models and the gullible MSM and politicians gobble it up each for their own purposes. Still, it’s nice to see at least some MSM showing a bit of scepticism.
“Oi, King Chuck, why ain’t we all been boiled already?”
It’s like Alice’s “jam tomorrow”, always coming soon but never arriving.
2026 could be England’s year. Its sovereign even has ears to suit.
I won’t bore everyone by posting the Dr. David Viner “snow will be a thing of the past” meme from 2000.
And Marillion sang “snowflakes in a newborn fist, sledging on a hill. Are these things we’ll never see in England” on ‘Seasons End’ in 1989……..
Pls, people, the Telegraph is full of shit. They aren’t ‘frozen.’ Their metabolism has slowed to where they go into a stupor.
Telegraph writers?
The rot goes to the top.
It’s that cold, a Florida politician has been seen with his hands in his own pockets.
This is the start of the mini ice age they promised us in c 1980.
Couple of years like this THEN we get the catastrophic heating prmised c2000
Then it all goes random into the non specific climate chage from 2020 on.
Obvs innit!
