I'm saying water temps like this aren't in any way unusual, and it's nothing more than speculation that water temp had ANYTHING to do with the dolphins dying.
And you're pretty clearly wrong. The average daily high temperature in this area is 85F, and that's the hottest it gets all year. The water is 102F - I'm not sure how on earth you could say that's not unusual. It may be nothing more than speculation, but it is the speculation of the people who are actually qualified to make such guesses - the people actually investigating the deaths.
And of course adding the phrase "boiled to death" is just more clickbait, but I think that was the TS and not the article. BTW, I don't think that link is showing what you think it is. Average air temps having nothing to do with peak water temps. Even published water temps are questionable, the temperature literally changes every inch lower in the water column, so exactly where in the water column the reading is taken will change the water temp, but there's no rule followed as to where it must be taken for these generic websites.
Yes, boiled to death was purely the sherdog title, its nowhere in the yahoo article. In either case, I'm not sure how a stupid title detracts from the story.
