Carbon Dioxide Is 'Driving Fish Crazy'
ScienceDaily ^ | Jan. 20, 2012 | ScienceDaily

Posted on 01/20/2012 7:02:58 PM PST by dila813

Rising human carbon dioxide emissions may be affecting the brains and central nervous system of sea fishes with serious consequences for their survival, an international scientific team has found.

Carbon dioxide concentrations predicted to occur in the ocean by the end of this century will interfere with fishes' ability to hear, smell, turn and evade predators, says Professor Philip Munday of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies and James Cook University.

The only thing driving fish crazy are crazy scientists trying to justify their grants and high salaries.

I think these scientists have been a little short on oxygen for years.

Sort of like a shaven Michael Moore without the spinal spikes.

Aahh - that scientific term of "settled science" yet again - MAY BE

“Carbon dioxide concentrations predicted to occur in the ocean by the end of this century will interfere with fishes’ ability to hear, smell, turn and evade predators, says Professor Philip Munday of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies and James Cook University.”

I wonder how much he was paid to do this study ?
Probably a lot more than it was worth !!
When was the last time you tried to figure out a budget for your family, and computed it for the end of the century ? (Some 88 years into the future ?)

In 88 years there will be no fishermen thanks to the EPA ,DEC , the Transportation Dept , and NOAA ... so...??

A surfeit of CO2 would produce more lush forests, greener grass,

And at one time our planets atmosphere had very high concentrations of CO2 and plants DID thrive. But then nature balanced it out and the type of plants did not thrive because the CO2 lessened.

It is a cycle and from what I have read from scientists our planet has gone through the cycle several times. So....

Nothing to see here, move along, move along...

“Settled Science” can be bought off !
Look at “ Global warming” that had to be changed to “Global Climate Change”

It’s like saying:
Statistics don’t lie
Statistians do lie !!

You are correct. Where was this headline, the last time a volcano erupted?

“Rising carbon dioxide emissions from recent volcanic eruptions may be affecting the brains and central nervous system of sea fishes with serious consequences for their survival”

What a bunch of BS

Guess what we use to operate our 250 gallon reef aquarium? CO2.

For us reefers, CO2 is used in conjunction with a calcium reactor to lower PH and dissolve hydro carbonate media into bio-available calcium molecules. In other words it makes our coral happy and growing. Turn off the C02 bottle and soon the the coral starts to look sickly.

C02 is also what green algae and other small plant life feed on. And these are food for many reef fish.

"published in the journal Nature Climate Change"

The whole "journal" is nothing but climate change garbage and you can't get published in it unless you find some new climate destruction:

"we can only consider for publication palaeoclimate studies that shed significant new light on the nature, underlying causes or impacts of current climate change."

What a crock, it's all about keeping their government grant money machine rolling for this bs research so they don't have to get a real job.

Of course, if they don't find a problem they won't get another grant, so they "find" a problem so they can do further research. What a scam. Our tax dollars at work!
