There’s an old Washington Post article from back during the mid-George W. Bush years, during the rise of the Blogosphere, where they interviewed a bunch of hard-left with Bush Derangement Syndrome, and one was talking about how she got up, cracked a non-alcoholic beer, lit a smoke, and thought about what hatred she would spew at BushCo. This is similar to the climate cult, where they apparently look for ways to link anything and everything to ‘climate change’ then doom-monger it
Out With Shrimp, In With Jellyfish? Seafood Industry Facing Potential Overhaul Due To Climate Change
Record-breaking ocean warming, shifting currents and continued development in coastal communities are all contributing to a changing planet and concerning climate patterns that stand to dramatically impact the world’s seafood supply and could deliver a $10 billion hit to fisheries annually by 2050.
A steady rise in ocean temperatures over the last year has outpaced the decades-long average warming of the oceans, according to the Washington Post, and average global ocean temperatures in June were almost a full degree Celsius above the average recorded from 1982 to 2011—delivering a major blow to the habitats of the world’s most commonly consumed seafood species. (it’s a very weirdly written piece, if you click the link, so, snipping way down to the last paragraph)
Not all creatures are negatively impacted by warming waters. Biologists and fishers say squid, or calamari, are not only quickly evolving to survive the changing ocean temperatures—they’re thriving. A Current Biology study says the population of cephalopods, which also includes octopus, have increased globally over the last six decades. Another study, published in the Journal of Marine and Coastal Fisheries, says the population along the Pacific coast multiplied by as much as 39 times between 1998 and 2019, and Oregon has a squid fishing industry for the first time as the animals move further north. The downside? The squid most commonly eaten by humans, including longfin squid and Humboldt squid, are major predators of shrimp and have led to the collapse of some shrimp populations, particularly during extreme heat waves. Jellyfish also thrive in warm waters, according to Science Friday, suggesting jellyfish-based dishes most common in China and Vietnam now could be seen as a more sustainable seafood option. The Vietnamese eat a traditional salad called G?i s?a with jellyfish, onions and fried rice, and a similar cold salad is popular in China’s northeastern provinces.
So, I guess Warmists should save the planet and start eating jellyfish, right?
