Easy on the covid we don’t want it to spill over here. ? Btw most ppl dont have problem with most things until govt went stupid ….the EUA was and is bs. The govt is not suppose to tell us how we can be treated …. Nor force vaccinate with extortionIn the past, species have had a lot longer to adapt to "normal" climate change. Many generations. Not so with this climate change. It's not quite as fast as an asteroid strike that plunges the world into an ice age and kills off +90% of all species world wide, but it's not far off either in terms of time.
It would be nice if the fixes happened sooner rather than later. #94 looks at oxygen levels needed for fish to survive. Obviously, a mass extinction in the oceans would be very very bad (although humans would probably adapt).
But, don't freak out about it, it won't get that far because renewable with ESS is cheaper than fossil fuels... it'll happen.
If it comes down to it, we might be a bit busy for that solution. You know humans... it's not urgent, it costs too much.
It's one of our best and worst features. But don't overlook the other big evolutionary advantage humans have: we can sweat efficiently. Doesn't help much in Florida, but it's a really big advantage.
Not really. It primary message was about what happens to other species when key species die off. The doomy/gloomy bit was we don't know what they key species (if any) are for humans. I think we're smart enough to come up with supplements for whatever is lost. Of course, if the vaccine debate is anything to go by, a lot of people will believe it's just a conspiracy for control and by not taking the supplements their brains will get even more impaired.
I did warn people about the content....
Actually, there have been thousands of peeps about that. It just doesn't make "big" news channels. For example: https://www.chathamhouse.org/2023/03/how-russias-war-ukraine-threatening-climate-security.
what got from your video is my perception as posted. ? They want to head losing things off at the pass by being proactive.
if cows are going gone gone then their are fat neighbors that are liberals for when things get tough. Might be able get hold of some fiji friends to get their old cannibal recipes.
thank goodness just co2 and global climate change. These kinds of things are recorded in bible too. I thought revelations was upon us.
It's in the news...again...

was worried it was polluted waters and algae causing it. 20-30 years ago it would have been blamed on just water borne pollutions….from land and seas. They blamed all weird fish from around the World showing up here in our lakes and such on commercial shipping. Seems the reports were ships take on water at their polluted home ports then release it when get here. Helps keep the ship at a desired water height. who knows what comes from those foreign ships. ….. Intentionally or not. Just for the conspiracy of it with pipe lines getting blown up and such. We were not worried about that pollution. Or the oil rig in gulf that dumped all the oil few year back. Was that sabotage too. Conspiracy.
I found an article where ppl that actually work and deal with this all the time commented. The dead fish are buried which provides nutrients for grasses and plants to grown on the protected beach areas according to article.
all the fish or vast majority are “ chad” bait fish.
“‘Frazier said the fish kill, though unfortunate, is not uncommon this time of year. "The area was experiencing its first heat wave of the summer, causing temperatures to rise quickly," Frazier wrote. "The warm water does not hold oxygen as well, and combined with very low wind/wave action (which ordinarily helps aerate the water) and inflows from nearby rivers all helped create pockets of low dissolved oxygen in areas of the Gulf."
When this first happens, the initial impact can trap fish in dead zones where they are deprived of oxygen and die off, especially bait fish like menhaden, Frazier added. "Typically, over time, Gulf water conditions balance, oxygen levels disperse, wind and wave action resumes and fish become acclimated to summertime conditions—all of which return the nearshore waters to a more normal pattern," he wrote.
The fish kill was investigated by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Region 3 Kills and Spills Team, a group of biologists who investigate fish and wildlife kills resulting from pollution or natural events. The team determined that the event was caused by a low dissolved oxygen event, which is a common condition during the summer when temperatures rise. The species most impacted was Gulf menhaden.
"If there isn't enough oxygen in the water, fish can't 'breathe,'" wrote Chris Jensen of the Kills and Spills Team. "Low dissolved oxygen in many cases is a natural occurrence."
Daily variations in dissolved oxygen concentration are related to photosynthesis and aerobic respiration. "Increased dissolved oxygen during the day is a result of photosynthesis which is driven by sunlight," Jensen said. "Photosynthesis stops at night and may slow down on cloudy days, but plants and animals in the water continue to respire and consume free oxygen, decreasing the dissolved oxygen concentration."
Before kill events, you can often spot fish trying to get oxygen by gulping at the surface of the water early in the morning, Jensen said. "Some fish may also be lying on the bottom or at the edge of the water," he added.”’’

oh yes almost forgot article states “stay out of water as fish die they cause even more problems with bacteria”. Typically red tide has all kinds of dead sea creatures…. As would think global warming or pollution would cause. Again this is claimed as just basically one species and for some reason common for it “chad.“
Ever watch salmon swimming up stream?
