If you plan your holidays in Germany, beware the crocodiles

Well, Skybird is right in claiming that a lot of life forms that were formerly only found in southern regions have advanced northwards. They wouldn't come here if it was getting colder.

Except we're not talking about Italian squirrels or some such we're talking about crocodiles. I'm pretty sure even if global warming is caused by humans it still hasn't turned Germany into year round croc habitat, at least not yet.

True, but no one stated that, did one?

Schon wieder einer...!

65 year old, 3m long; 170 kg heavy alligator escaped from a show camping in Frankfurt, and moved down the streets in the outskirts of Frankfurt, calmly, peacefully. The animal was caught alive, and brought back, calmy, and peacefully.

BTW, room temperature over here 31°C, this day's outside maximum in this town, in the shadows, 39°C. Stecht mich an, ich bin gar.

I did. I just remarked that Germany is kind of cold for crocodiles! You Germans sure are a touchy lot...

I guess it was a misunderstanding then. I thought your reply was supposed to mean that there is no global warming.

It's those kinds of misunderstandings that gets countries like Poland overrun!

So to recap:
The premise of this thread is that crocodiles are infesting German waterways. I just innocently comment that crocodiles would not survive a German winter. Skybird treats us to a lecture on global warming. I respond that regardless of all that it still isn't warm enough to support crocodiles and suddenly i'm a human cause global warming denier?

It seems I think too much.
