Obama’s Science Czar: ‘Man-Made’ Climate Change Endangering Shrimp, Lobsters, Crabs

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.

Isn’t this the same John Holdren who postulated that post natal abortions would be OK until the age of two years?

The czar should check the WH for crabs.

If you don’t have a crisis that convinces people to give up their freedom and money, invent one. how did people and animals survive when the temperatures were much warmer during the Medieval warming period?

Sounds like the phony acid rain scare of the 80s. There was going to be a huge, disastrous die-off of the world’s trees due to acid rain caused by pollution. It didn’t happen. So the enviro-wackos went on to a new cause: Global Warming.

Wow! Glad to see this! I just listened to a presentation by Dane Wigington last night—he’s got me convinced this is yet another government made problem that the government MUST save us from. (taking our rights AND tax $ to do it!)

See Project Popeye - “...highly classified weather modification program in Southeast Asia...”

Yeah...they’ve “nationalized” the weather.

Exactly right. And the atmospheric CO2 is insignificant compared to the dissolved CO2 already in the Oceans. We have half wits who think they are scientist running the country into the ground.

Thanks!

And, thank God for alternative media, because mainstream media appears to be America’s biggest enemy.

I used to watch local “news” just for the weather report, but, I fear they’re worthless as well!

What does the top science and technology adviser say about handing nukes to Iran? Is nuclear fallout good for the crabs?


Excellent point!!

That’s good. This way we won’t have to boil the little bastards before we eat them, saving energy. :)

Bobby Jindal has noted that Louisiana’s commercial fishermen find some of their best fishing around the offshore oil rigs.
The rigs are like mini-reefs that actually attract sea life, he says.
When Obama announced he was coming to Louisiana a few days before the 10th anniversary of Katrina to pimp “climate change,” Jindal wrote him a letter telling him to refrain, such job-killing talk wasn’t welcome in Louisiana.

Are we frightened yet about "man-made" climate change that has not changed in 19 years? (Moreover, the globe being in a cooling mode since the Medieval Warm Period .)
C'mon, Holdren, go for it.
Really scare us.
Claim that anthropogenic global warming is going to re-awaken Godzilla, and women, children, and minorities will be hardest hit, ya' lying ignorant science fiction fraud moron.
