Gulf of Oman now world's largest oxygen-depleted 'dead zone'

Just last August it was reported that the Gulf of Mexico had the world's largest dead zone and this dead zone is 7 times the size. Ya can't believe nothing you read. The Indian ocean's dead zone is two and a half times the size of the Gulf of Mexico's dead zone.

I would not bust out the soylent green yet.

Scientists have known about the zone for around 50 years

So the whole story is just another irrelevant media clown show pretending to be "Journalism".

[sparklite2]

... and of course per the article, they blame global warming.

[fishtank]

Wouldn’t this be a natural fimmenimmenon????

[BBell]

In another article it was mentioned that it could not be investigated before due to pirates and conflicts in the region. Imagine that.

[bgill]

Universities are oxygen deprived dead zones.

[BBell]

Sorry, it was mentioned in this article also. My bad.

[SpaceBar]

It’s one of those places marked with a dead fish icon in Google Earth.

The deadzone in liberal intelligentsia is pretty big, too.

[BBell]

You gave me an idea. Liberal intelligentsia would be a good pool to harvest organs. It’s not like anyone would miss their intellect anyway.

[MeganC]

Yeah, I don’t think I’d want any organs from a liberal. The risk for hepatitis and other lifestyle diseases is pretty high with that group of degenerates.

What’s amazing is there is a whole lot of suckers who believe such pseudo-scientific alarmist self-contradictory useless tax-sucking gibberish.

[miliantnutcase]

Those pirates sure have been quiet the last year and half?

[Reily]

Look at black shales - formed from dead zones!

Nothing new!

[TomGuy]

Sounds too much like the growing hole in the ozone layer scare from 50 years ago.

Use Maxine Waters for what’s she’s worth.
Run a pipe from Maxine Water’s mouth to the bottom of the dead zone.

The hot air she generates should churn the waters and revive it in no time.

And fill it with excrement?

How will that help?

[DannyTN]

As the excrement quickly piles up, it will push the water out of the dead zone into more oxygen friendly zones. it’ll also provide slopes for wave action to oxygenate the water.

LOL!

Don’t know about that one, but NYC created one off Long Island where it garbage is dumped; miniature ones are found beneath fish pens where current is slow or non-existent.
