Just more Liberal scare tactics to push socialist agenda. Spices come and go. 99.999% of all species that have ever lived have become extinct, without man kinds help.
What you will not see in this is the fact that when you put up a sea based oil drilling rig, sea life explodes. This is been proven in Louisiana and has been so affective that when a rig is decommissioned other states are trying to buy them to put off their shores.
Were these also Man made? I think not! Yes, we need to keep the oceans as clean as we can.
But the Enviro_Nazis probably want all world people to stay off the oceans for a least a couple centuries. There that will fix it.
I can tell you for a fact that your table listing a 96% decline in Goliath Grouper (formerly known as Jewfish) in the Florida Keys since 1956 is so patently false as to be absurd.
I would assume if this one is so distorted, the rest is as well. I have 34 years residency in the Florida Keys and i know the Jewfish and all other species in the Keys quite well. And yes, I have extensive college studies in marine biology.
And here I thought the oceans were supposed to be dead by 1980. Clearly, we’re not killing enough fish.
Fifteen years ago Ted Danson said the oceans would die in ten years. Yawnnn.
Another scientist trolling for some grant money to continue this ‘vital’ research.
Even if temperatures rise significantly, which is probably not going to happen, fish etc. will just move a little further North as the ocean warms very slowly (its time constant is over 1000 years).
You mean the Democrats will take over?
Doesn’t slime contain a lot of oil we can recover and burn in our cars?
“Global Warming” is quickly being exposed as a lie.
“Man's Destruction of Oceans”, and with them our own destruction, will be the next target.
They'll run with it for 20 years until the facts catch up to them.
Constant monitoring of Ocean temperatures by ARGOS (http://www.argos-system.org/html/applications/ocean_en.html) shows no change. Coral reefs have been destroyed by dust coming from Africa due to cyclical droughts. It is arrogant to think that mankind can destroy the whole world by just existing.
Save your breath. ‘Cogitator’ made up his mind on man-made global warming a long time ago.
LOL! I did hear that polar bears have a fear of flying... reason for another government granted study!
“Dogs and cats....living together....MASS HYSTERIA!!!”
