2 million fish found dead in Maryland
 
Quote:

CNN) -- Authorities in Maryland are investigating the deaths of about 2 million fish in Chesapeake Bay.
"Natural causes appear to be the reason," the Maryland Department of the Environment said in a news release. "Cold water stress exacerbated by a large population of the affected species (juvenile spot fish) appears to be the cause of the kill."
The investigation comes days after the deaths of an estimated 100,000 fish in northwest Arkansas. Authorities suspect disease was to blame there, a state spokesman said.
In Maryland, preliminary tests showed water quality to be acceptable, officials said.
"The affected fish are almost exclusively juvenile spot fish, 3 to 6 inches in length," the Maryland department said. A recent survey "showed a very strong population of spot in the bay this year. An increased juvenile population and limited deep water habitat would likely compound the effects of cold water stress."
Large winter kills of spot fish have occurred at least twice before in the state, in 1976 and 1980, the department said.

Should these threads be merged with the conspiracy theory thread?

So... cold water stress... I thought all the ocean waters were warming...

Shit man... the latest? That was the theory 10-12 years ago when global warming was really starting to become big business.

Ironically all these places are where I took a dump just before it happened.

Someone's pissant little town could experience a colder winter than usual, and that person would claim "so much for global warming".

Not too bright I would think.

I always say that when it snows and then when its 114 degrees outside in the summer, I complain about global warming.

Sounds like you're still drinking that global warming coolaid.

Google "solar cycle 24". Sorry to be the bearer of an "inconvenient truth"...lol

The Sun has for more to do with the temps on this planet than anything else possibly could. That should be pretty obvious.

The rest is just a political diversion, and an excuse to charge taxes, and use political devices such as "carbon credits".

IIRC, we have about 2-3 more years of warm, and then it starts a very long trend down again. Don't bother waking Mr. Gore, just pull the blanket up a couple inches for him.
