Climate Change Could be Keeping the Baltic Sea Starved for Oxygen

“This is because they live in low oxygen/very salty water”

Correction, sentence should have read: This is because they CANNOT live in low oxygen / very high salt water

The Black Sea is even worse in this regard

[Boogieman]

The Baltic Sea was too fat anyway, it needed to go on a diet.

We must preserve the environment for our Chinese overlords.

Climate change could be causing my cat to have hair balls!

[Blue Collar Christian]

“suggests” “could be”

Such reporting makes it to the internet where everything is a fact.

My Yorkipoo is smarter than these folks who write gibberish about the changing climate.

In the winter when the sun is shining, she always finds an area on the rug where the sunbeam has warmed the floor rug - and that is where she takes her nap.

She doesn’t need to know anything about carbon emissions. She already knows instinctively and through experience that a sunbeam is a nice thing on a cold winter day.

[Blue Collar Christian]

My thoughts exactly. Agricultural pollutants. There’s no way for them to become diluted.

I “suggest” the pollution in the Baltic Sea “could be” the cause of global, er, climate, er, what is it called now?

[Iron Munro]

Or - it could not.

The lack of oxygen in the water there is a phenomenon that is well known for decades. The reason is that the Baltic is a sort of sack where water goes in from the Atlantic but can’t get out. It is saltier than the Atlantic too for the same reason

One notable trait of the Baltic is that there are NO major rivers flowing into it.

As a consequence, your "sack" description above is explained: there is more flowage into the Baltic from the Atlantic than there is from the Baltic flowing out.

[Iron Munro]

Could be?

It could be that many well connected people are making fortunes from scaring Obama’s Stupid People with this climate control snake-oil scam.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Is there ANYTHING that CAN’T be caused by glowbull warming?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Sounds like an indecent act with a cow.

[dhs12345]

And it will go in the form of higher taxes to crony bureaucrats and pet projects and redistribution and probably even non-US entities like the UN.

[Col Freeper]

Climate change is also moving all the furniture in my house around just a little every time I leave the house.

That damnable Climate Change has unexpectedly killed all the leaves on my giant sycamore trees and dispersed them all over the yard!

I'm going to need some serious (thinking millions of $) Government money to take care of this catastrophe!

[Col Freeper]

Brian Stallard is suffering from a lack of oxygen to his brain.

[GraceG]

We must build windmills attached to air pumps on floating platforms to fix this......

Mo money mo monet

[pallis]

What a bunch of bull whopper doodoo.

[Colorado Doug]

It’s not starved for oxygen. It’s just pining for the fjords.

[beethovenfan]

Or not.
