Ocean Dead Zones To Expand
Nature | Submitted by: Pooty Poot
"Rising levels of carbon dioxide could increase the volume of oxygen-depleted dead zones in tropical oceans by as much as 50% before the end of the century -- with dire consequences for the health of ecosystems in some of the world's most productive fishing grounds."

Here is mostly complete list of things attributed to global warming. There must me many more by now. http://www.numberwatch.co.uk/warmlist.htm

we wouldn't have global warming if the politicians of the world would just stop telling lies. just spouting hot air and saying nothing.

outsourcing has its benefits, when you send it to the land of no regulation at all. At least the EPA got the dirty jobs out of here totally. Wonder if they'll sweep in for the final kill at GM and Ford, that they can now.

Only after the last tree is cut down, Only after the last river has been poisoned, Only after the last fish has been caught, Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

When we finally succeed in poisoning this planet to the point that no one can live here and all humans die, then Mother Nature will put things back to right. ================== well hopefully bella when that happens Mother Nature will see fit to eliminate your genome from the planet

Unless you are the genetic anomaly I always thought you were. In that case, you might have a chance.....

The article boils down to this: "could ... before the end of the century." There is nothing factual in this article. It is merely opinion.

The world changes every 15 minutes. We are constantly adapting to these changes, only we don't even realize it because the increments are so small. The sun will rise tomorrow and the next day for at least another million years, so fears regarding the future of the earth are unfounded. Conditions on the planet have been constantly changing, and life has been adapting to it since the beginning. That is why there is such a wide diversity of life forms. Each generation of humans sees its present condition as the 'natural' way things should be, and seeks to maintain that state. Therefore, any change is to be feared and avoided. Of course, the temperature, rainfall etc. will be different in the future, and our tribe will adapt to those changes. What exact form the changes will take and how we will adapt are not clear at this time, but those generations will have to figure it out for themselves, just as we have had to figure it out for ourselves. The world is a vastly different place than it was even 100 years ago. It will be just as different in another 100. The future is not ours, nor ours to see. It is totally beyond our control, so stop listening to the fear mongers and chill.

Why does every study project some horrible future decades from now? We're not guaranteed our next breath, much less another ninety years. Make a difference today, so there will be people to remember you in generations to come. Okay, preach over, we now return you to our regularly scheduled program, already in progress.

From: doczzz [dwarf fusion] Date: 15-Nov-2008 23:40 Man, I hope this doesn't raise the price of sushi... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Horrible Future...Price of Sushi 40 years ago the wholesale price of Blue-fin Tuna (preferred for Sushi) was 6¢ a pound, today it hovers around $4.00 a pound due to scarcity of product because of overfishing and oceanic pollution (Blue-fin Tuna is a top predator). 40 years ago, a 2000-pound Tuna was not unusual, today the largest catches average about 300-500 pounds. In a short while, the Blue-fin Tuna will be commercially extinct, the wholesale price then will be stratospheric, as poachers zero in on the last of this marvelous warm-blooded Tiger of the Sea. Most of the Tuna sold nowadays is Yellow-Fin Tuna (in most opinions, a lesser taste) and Albacore, a smaller species more difficult to catch but sweeter tasting than even Blue-fin. Other species known collectively as Red Tuna and of the least taste, are canned and used for loss-leader sales in supermarkets and, of course, cat food. The dwindling populations of Tuna species is almost inversely proportional to the upspiraling human population. This "hit" on Tuna is not expected to change. Say good-bye to Mr Charley Tuna on your dinner plate. And Ms GingerBrown, the reason for all these dire predictions of a horrible future in all these studies is that the ever-increasing load of humanity upon the earth is taking its toll. This "hit" on earth is not expected to change. 2008-6.4 Billion humans 2050-9.8 Billion humans (estimated projection) 2100-Does it really matter?...I mean, who cares?

Another theory: after the peace agreement with Israel is made, 7 years of total bullshit will follow until the return of you-know-who. We're fucked from the inside out, no matter how you look at it.

My point was that people are too busy worrying over what will happen in the future, so they feel they can't, or don't have to, do anything right now. Don't climb too high on that hoss; it's a long way down.

Put up some cell tower buoys, then maybe there would be no ocean dead zones. Soccer moms driving boats will make international waters treacherous as Somalia.
