You are welcome, hang in there and keep discussing! :)

Thanks nickursis.

Lots of salt when reading anything on the internet is a must. Discernment is key. I went to other, small local sites in AK and I was reading similar stories.

Indeed :)!! QuaPlah!

Exactly.

Probably. The way it reads certainly seems to indicate that, but this is meat and potatoes to the sheeple, they actually will start protests and want laws based on this stuff. Accurate? About as accurate as saying the tornadoes in OK today were directly cause by CO2. Lack of facts and logical investigation have never stopped people who want their worldview rammed down our throats.

I think you made someones SL for something or another. The point thing is pretty meaningless, I give one for every comment because someone took their time to add something, even if it is a little comment. Some people use it for quality filtering. Some to express their opposition or perception. I try to not judge anyone, and just appreciate their involvement.

At least they have some factual evidence, as opposed to those who just want to decree that we submit and cough up all the money THEY want (like the Obamamnation). As you said, they are the best money can buy. The scary thing is none of them have no shame..they would never make it in the Klingon Empire...

wow! . and from a source with a good reputation!
that might make the big time -- Rush, Levin, Hannity ..... -- j

You will be interested to note I just posted an editorial from IBD where they basically call out the whole global warming thing for what it is: fraud. They also quoted the UN weinie who basically says it is an excuse to redistribute wealth through allowing third world countries free rein (because they need it) and mainstream countries under draconian restrictions (because they need it too). After all, someone has to pay...

yessir, our political elites are bought-and-paid-for, the
best politicians money can buy! . what ever happened
to the citizen-politicians envisioned by our founders? -- j

Lots of stuff could be addressed, and should be, but the manipulation so intertwined by the political class has poisoned and concern most people have. They have no trust someone is telling the truth of an issue, so they never move to a solution. They just wait for the idiots in DC to announce what they will do. Too bad 90% of what they announce has a special interest donation attached and pushing it. The corrupt clowns need to wake up to this little detail.

Why the thumbs down?

I fish. This is a bunch of malarkey. If the alarmists really cared they'd start blocking S.E. Asian factory fishing vessels from taking everything they can snag. Not one peep about that.

Thanks. There's nothing better than ist hand information/observation. So you were a sub-mariner. One of my best friends was also. He now lives in Arizona. He's been out for many years and used to beat my butt at racquetball. It sure takes a special person to work submarines. I couldn't do it.

we are fighting change, even natural change, like the
earth is supposed to be the same forever. . the earth
may just be telling us that we're making buggy whips,
and change is inevitable, constant, perennial !

I recorded an expose a little while ago about that pacific
garbage patch -- the size of 3 indianas, if memory serves.
it's amazing that we have such an awful collection of
flotsam out there. -- j

Could be Doc, it is surely a confluence of several issues, but they will never take the time to figure it out.

They are indeed, I had them come up on the bow and stern of the submarine, and we had to go try to shoo them off, which rarely worked. This is probably a local issue, and no one ever mentioned the fact that they have extremely limited the fresh water drainage into the Bay area for a couple years now, due tot he drought, yet it may be a prime reason. Facts are non existent in that web page beyond a casualty count.

Notice, all you see is the damage report, and the implication it was of course a Global Warming disaster. Crap like this is why we have not been able to get to a factual, data based approach to any issue. Why use facts when you can just make up emotional hot button statements?

Herb, I spent 20 years on submarines, marching about the ocean, mainly the North Pacific. I had a special Oceanographic monitor, and we spent several patrols in the 90's gathering tones of data. The overall impression we saw was each year saw a different structure, one year a deep warm layer, the next a cold one. Each change will cause a movement of the plankton and the fish, which the seals eat. The last 2 winters had seen a warming up the coast, which also moves the food supply. The seals tend to get attached to a specific spot because people feed them, in addition to the natural food, so they seem to have not woken up tot he fact dinner is somewhere else. I am still unconvinced man made global warming exists, I do agree climate change is happening, has happened, and will continue. Animals must adapt or die, which the sheeple never saw, as watching National Geographic was considered bad, as they showed violence and other distasteful subjects. There are much greater man made issues with oceans such as the great Pacific garbage patch, that none of these liberated sad sacks ever want to do anything to address. If it can't be legislated and manipulated (such a Obamanations BS CO2 crap), then they don't want to know about it.They are just a bunch of insincere whiners crying because the world changes, and Hillary didn't say it could.

If true (and I do have some doubts) this is natures way of resetting the balance. It has happened many times, and will continue to happen in the future. When a species gets smaller, then the species that depends on that specie for food will get smaller to allow the first specie to get larger, and on it goes.

Cute article, but one of the most information-free, adrenaline- and fear-provoking ones I've seen in a while. Thanks for the example.

Totally worry-provoking with no Critical Thinking layer to even hint at curiosity about WHYTF it happened, let alone the myriad possible causes!

Junk food for eco-cultists and anti-human believers.

Yes, it's an eco-hysteria site. Like the onion except it's unintentional self-satire on what they believe. Here's another one from the home page:

"Cemetery full of dead babies missing brains next to US nuclear site — Funeral Director: Almost all infants we have died the same way… 'that’s pretty much all I see on death certificates' — Few miles from 'most contaminated place in hemisphere' — 'One of largest documented anencephaly clusters in US history'”

The early ecology movement of the 19th century started with the same envirochondria. The back-to-the-landers, anti-industrial revolution were petrified of "erosion". They believed that land was washing into the sea. Now it's zombi seals.
