The shellfish are coming! The shellfish are coming!

In our previous episode of Global Warming Alarmist Theater, All Creatures Slithering and Slimy, we saw alarmist forecasts about how giant snakes would take over America. In the current episode, All Creatures Creepy and Crawly, written by San Francisco Chronicle "science" writer David Perlman, he relays a prediction of a Pacific Ocean shellfish invasion of the North Atlantic:

The Deadliest Catch show might have to move north. Waaay north.

[Rebelbase]

Hopefully this will drive down the price of oysters.

[CholeraJoe]

Bring it on!

[steelyourfaith]

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[umgud]

Sounds like a bunch of abalone to me.

[Edit35]

The ocean water temp at the Jersey shore has been downright frigid this summer.

Colder than normal, anyway.

Which highlights, once again, the fact that the global worming crowd is invested in pure fantasy.

Harvest the shellfish, feed the hungry. Global Warming solves world hunger problem. That ought to make the eco-socialist busy-bodies happy.

This is a disaster! The Pacific mollusk invasion will displace our beloved Blue Points leaving only those puny, sissy, pathetic Seattle varieties.

I never took the global warming kooks seriously, until now.

WAKE UP PEOPLE. WE MUST SAVE THE BLUE POINTS!

[Sacajaweau]

You’re absolutely right...Cook’em.....But that doesn’t make “grants”...for “cleaner-upper” guys.

[Zakeet]

Is that Moron part of the MSM Nitwork?

If so, can anyone possibly believe anything he writes without confirmation from an independent non-biased reliable source?

People who trust Presstitutes these days are sooooo stupid!

[Red Badger]

LOL!!!....GOOD ONE!!!.............

[J40000]

I wish these global warming kooks would just clam up!

[mmichaels1970]

CRAB PEOPLE, CRAB PEOPLE, taste like CRAB, talk like PEOPLE.

[Laserman]

The problem is that they are so self-centered and shellfish!

[Hacklehead]

Let the debate begin about which is the best type of gun/ammo to use against a shellfish invasion.

I can't provide much about ammo. But as a former Alaskan crab fisherman, I can provide info about defense.

If the crabs come ashore in some sort of "shock and awe" invasion, and you happen to get pinched by one, you need to immediately SET HIM ON HIS BELLY. This is critical. He will not let go otherwise. When the crab is on his belly, he thinks he can run away so he lets go.

That is mainly due to the prevailing winds coming out of the south; it pushes the warm surface waters north and colder water upwells to fill in near the beaches.

Yummy! More to eat without people whining about how we are wiping out the shellfish population.

I can see where that would work for your average type crab, but I not sure whether that would be the right strategy for the super-aggressive crabs driven insane by global warming. They are likely to be blood thirsty and not interested in escape. And then there is there whole issue of crab zombies.
