The sky is falling.......
Those dirty, nasty, bible-thumping, gun-loving,
knuckle-dragging, polluting Christian morons are to blame.

I’ve been surfing in the Manhattan Beach area of California for 30 years and I typically surf several times a week at El Porto which is just north of Manhattan Beach. In my experience, water quality in the Santa Monica Bay has been steadily improving since I started surfing. But don’t take my word for it, checkout the water quality grades at Heal The Bay: http://brc.healthebay.org/?id=43&lat=33.901799&lng=-118.422003&c=10 . Currently, Manhattan Beach gets an A grade for water quality.
Yep I'm guessing it went from 1 part per billion to 3.4 parts per billion (or some similarly infinitesimally small amount). So to get mercury poisoning you would have to eat "only" 50 pounds of tuna a day instead of the 180 pounds you would have had to have eaten before humans "polluted" the oceans.
People have been pointing out this developing scam for nearly a decade now. They need something to replace anthropomorphic global warming as that one peaked five years ago.
One single vent on an undersea volcano can dump three tons of mercury into the sea each year. Volcanic activity in turn dumps less mercury into the ocean than underwater erosion. Human contributions to oceanic mercury are even smaller than human contributions to atmospheric greenhouse gasses.
340 % increase starting from WHAT? One part per billion?
Not this STUFF again! Seems we have to endure the oceans being full of mercury every ten years, or so when some jackass hasn’t anything else to write about.
Show me the mercury level test data pre-industrial revolution and during the industrial revolution, cross referenced by the locations recent testing was done. You can’t do that because your entire article, and the “science” behind it is all based on preposterous GUESSES.
(that is how skepticism is done princess)
Alton Brown from the Food Network pointed out that cheaper “skipjack” tuna has a shorter life span than the more expensive albacore. The theory is that by buying the cheaper tuna you are limiting your exposure. Why not?
by all means take it out of the ocean and put it in our mandatory light bulbs
ugh
Just admit that you want to off six or seven billion human parasites (excluding you and yours, of course) in order to "save the planet."
Wow aren’t we powerful!
Sorry but the ocean was here before us and it will be here long after.
Yes, the fish are poison. And ironically, the oceans are ruined by over fishing.
Last time I was in the grocery store - Monday I think it was - canned tuna was still 80 cents a can.
But please don’t tell the liberals - it just makes them unhappy.
On the positive side, with the increased mercury, you’ll know and feel the effects of glow-bull warming/change/discombobulation well before all those idiotic, loser deniers you used to hang out with. Now THAT is optimism.
Would like to know the methodology used to measure this, and if it has changed significantly since the industrial revolution.
Catfish melts work pretty good!
They are using gun-control tactics. I remember when the Brady Bunch screamed about a 200% increase in assault weapons used in crimes - turned out it went from something like .001 to .003.
I wrote the reporter and said to be skeptical when any group uses percentages instead of actual numbers, as it means their position is weak and they have to use subterfuge. He said I had a point and would double-check any further releases. He was the only one who ever answered positively.
