This seems to have profound economic impacts if it continues... is that enough to get the right-wingers on board?

Screw that non-sense, I thought you were talking about the multible earthquakes the earth is enduring. Another now in Turkey.

Nope... I was talking about piles of delicious crabs rotting at the bottom of the ocean in a dead zone...

I read that too, and it's very alarmingly, unless you happen to be a horse's behind who likes to respond to every piece of cautionary science with "It's just normal weather patterns." I'd like to punch those people in the groin.

How long have scientists been saying rising CO2 levels will lead to decreased oxygen in the oceans? IMO, when food supplies begin to drop, everyone who has ever expressed anti-environmental rhetoric has to go to the end of the line. You get what's left.

seems to have worked over the course of Earth's life, like you ain't ever going to change it.

by the way, do you remember a while back we were posting about the poor dinosaurs or was that on the old " anonymous" board?

Not a justification for our behavior. As any chart will show, the level of CO2 we are creating at the rate we create it absolutely dwarfs naturally occurring spikes in history. If you graph it, you either end up with a mountain range graph with a line that goes straight up at the end, or if you zoom out, you have what looks like a flat line for all of eternity and then a violent spike at the end. You can argue all you want that these kinds of things happen naturally, but that doesn't mean its acceptable to make it happen artificially and then act like that's okay.

E, you are about as funny as those you verbally castrate on this Forum when your air of superority exceeds your common sense in those rare moments it happens. Laughing Laughing

Dead zones usually result from poor countries (and New York) dumping garbage and sewage at sea or poor farming practices allowing excess runoff of nuteriants,animal waste and other chemicals to enter waterways.

So, which poor country is causing the deadzone off the coast of NW PA? Alaska? Smile

My nest questions is where did the crabs come from in NW PA? Anything casuing issues in Lake Erie most likely came from Ohio or Canada. PA has only a small coast line, OH, NY and Canada have the biggest share.
