President Obama’s top science and technology adviser warned that man-made climate change is putting shrimp, lobsters, crabs and oysters at risk.
John Holden, the director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, said at a White House-sponsored event that some of the excess carbon dioxide dissolves in seawater to form carbonic acid.
Vice President Joe Biden, who also addressed the summit, said there would be “winners and losers” as the U.S. transitions to a sustainable energy source.
“This puts at risk all of the marine organisms that make their shells from calcium carbonate including shrimp, oysters, lobsters, crabs and many of the zooplankton near the base of ocean food webs,” Holdren said at the White House’s Summit on Climate & the Road through Paris: Business & Science. “We know too that climate change will continue for many decades to come.”
According to Holdren, the “pace and pattern of the changes in climate” that have occurred since the industrial revolution match with “great fidelity” what climate science told us would result from the buildup of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere.

Another liberal jughead regurgitates the 'RAT party propaganda.
Unlike the EPA environmental rules and piles of permits and paperwork that the skippers just love and really enhance their work experience and catch.
Lobsters have a hell of a better chance with climate change than they do around Michelle.
No NO, that is just natural occurring contrails of the kind we observed as children in the 60’s. This is so blatant now, and still the “sleeping” laugh, it is such a silly theory they say.
“Lobster Violence”?
YES, Holdren is a joke even amongst his fellow scientists, none of whom would agree that he was a good choice for the job he’s in. At least I haven’t heard of one who agrees that he shoul even be on the short list of candidates for Chief Science Advisor to the POTUS.
Wait...I thought commercial fishermen were doing that...?
And not a word about what the chemicals BP dumped into the gulf to sink their oil spill, instead of cleaning it up, which seems to be resulting in mutated shrimp, crabs and fish in the gulf these days.
I think I have a hangnail that was caused by global warming...
I’m bald too...global warming did it 40 years ago...OK 35...
While I’m onto this, check tomorrow Sunday Oct 25 on Newsmax TV channel at 4PM CST for the documentary Dark Winter. Check the Newsmax site for what channel, on DirectV it’s 349.

We’re heading into at least 30 years of very harsh winters, global warming ended around 18 years ago. It’s related to solar activity. Greater solar activity and more sunspots, warmer climate. We recently entered a period of decreased solar activity, which is why the past 2 or 3 winters have been unusually harsh.
2013, the interstate in Atlanta froze over for several days, stranding thousands of cars. 2014, record snowfall all over the northeast.
Get ready for at least 30 years of more of the same, and it won’t get any better any time soon. Those who are trying to tell the truth are predicting 30 to 50 years, maybe more, of very harsh winters, similar to those around 1810 to 1815.
Remember the stories of Napoleon trying to take over Europe in severe winters and crop failures resulting in famines? Solar minimum. Washington at valley forge? Solar minimum.
Here’s a good article on what’s actually happening.

And another article, the only thing I disagree with here is he says it won’t offset man made global warming...utter crap...probably forced to say it or nobody would print it...

There’s plenty more, google for solar minimum, or dalton minimum or maunder minimum
Right now....we all need to step back and in prayer tell GOD how sorry we are. That word Sorry is an understatement but it’s all we have.
Sorry all you global warming freaks but studies show that even the reef that was supposed to be dying off because of warm sea water is really dying off due to skin divers wearing sun block and sun burn protection due to the chemicals they use.
Global warming has nothing to do with the reefs die off.
Indeed mass murder.
Idiot. What has damaged sea life is Fukushima.
We can grow ‘em in aqua farms. I’d give up shellfish before giving up my car.
Female and minority shrimp, lobsters, and crabs hit hardest.
Oh NOZ! There goes my Zuppa di Pesce!!

You speak the truth.
The catchphrase they might recognize should be “it’s the sun stupid.” We should say that over and over and over.
Haven’t a clue about the others, but lobster is found to be in short supply only because MO has consumed most of what is caught in the lobster traps. Shrimp boats having a hard time. Ranchers having a hard time, fishermen having a hard time. The rest of us having a hard time. The only ‘folks’ who seem to be having a good time are politicians and the crime lords in DC and UN. As to the real shortage of these tasty God’s creatures...perhaps the El Nino and La Nina have some effect. As McCain might say...wacko birds, all!
