For killing the Loch Ness monster. Which he never proved existed in the first place. The Daily Record reports:
LEGENDARY Nessie hunter Robert Rines is giving up his search for the monster after 37 years.
The 85-year-old American will make one last trip in a bid to find the elusive beast.
After almost four decades of fruitless expeditions, he admitted: "Unfortunately, I'm running out of age." . . .
Despite having hundreds of sonar contacts over the years, the trail has since gone cold and Rines believes that Nessie may be dead, a victim of global warming.

Personally, I can come up with no other possible explanation for the demise of Nessie.
I suspect it may have done in Big Foot as well.
And, Puff the Magic Dragon.

I also thing global warming killed the "acedmically honest peer reviewed scientific study monster"

I think Robert Rines probably annoyed Nessie to death with sonar.
