I could repost the FWS news release, but really don't want to, since the NR document has logical and documentary holes big enough to drive an 18-wheeler through. I have no way to confirm nor deny what they are reporting. Even the people who issued the NR are saying (essentially) that this is a SWAG. And yet, the "sky is falling with dead bats" folks have jumped on this report as if people really did have documentary numerical evidence and they are going to repeat it and repeat it ad nauseum. This is what is known as disinformation...not merely misinformation.
And the point of this is: can't be science, seems to be that other stuff.
