More speculation....

Where are the FACTS screened by 'common sense' and not leftist-from-hell democRATs??

Remember when the environmentalists said Alaska's shoreline would be ruined when the Exxon-Valez spilled oil? The fish and wildlife thrived after the accident.

may be a troubling symptom of Earth's warming climate, a group of scientists says.

Yah, sure.

Generally, winds on the Oregon Coast are southerly in the winter swinging northwesterly after the passage of a low pressure system. In the summer, the winds are generally northwesterly due to the presence of the Pacific High. In fact, this "rule of thumb" prevails along the entire Pacific Coast of the US. In the article, Mr. Barth has the general wind pattern completely backwards. In fact, by mid May, the general wind direction is northwesterly. Strange conclusions indeed. A NOAA Weather Fax for the next 24 hours shows NW winds shifting to strong southerly winds. Go figure.

Without long term trend data these assertions are totally useless. On the east coast we have red tide which creates problems for the clam flats. These evidently have been known for eons. I would check this story out with some long time fishermen in the area - especially those who are not likely to look for a Government bail out.

Let me correct one part:

"Such zones were first appeared discovered in 2002, it's not known if they occurred naturally before then"

[Labyrinthos]

Such zones first appeared in 2002, but during the past 2 years, they were longer lasting than before and had lower oxygen concentrations, says Lubchenco.

No... the zones were first discovered in 2002. Whether they have appeared periodically over the last 4 billion years is an open question

Unprecedented recent changes in the yearly pattern of ocean currents off North America's West Coast have wreaked havoc on aquatic ecosystems there.

Unprecedented?

Over what timescale?

The Earth is very dynamic.

[Cold Heart]

The official "religion" of the state of Oregon is global warming. The state climatoligist's (also from OSU) recent difference of thought on that subject may have cost him his job as threatened by the govenor. This announcement may be a result of the govenor "fishing" for a scientist to agree with his official stance.
