Scientists have been unable to find male baby sea turtles in Florida. Sea turtle sex, like many reptiles, is determined by the temperature of the sand the egg is laying in. Average sand temps get too high = only females born. Only females born = turtles can't reproduce = extinction of a species that has survived millions of years and dozens of global warming and cooling cycles (slow, natural ones).
