2 million fish found dead in Maryland

[tallywacker]

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.

there was something about mass bird deaths lately too - it's the government testing the harp system fo sho..

[OneSickPsycho]

Should these threads be merged with the conspiracy theory thread?

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

[Avatard]

No, OSP, latest is we're heading for another ice age.

Try and keep up...

:lmao:

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.

Sounds like you jump to conclusions. Where did I say that humans were responsible for global warming? I was merely making fun of the idiots who spout lines like "so much for global warming" just because their neck of the woods is having a cold winter. It's kind of like looking at the Dow Jones on a graph -- you can see several periods of growth that lasted several years, yet within those periods it constantly spikes up and down.

The "so much for global warming" style of joke is often used to try and convince gullible people that the globe isn't actually warming......even though it is.

As for whether humans are at least partly responsible for accelerating the current warming cycle, the verdict isn't in yet.......but I'm more inclined to believe in what scientists determine, rather than motorcycle riders who just pick whatever internet link they already agree with, and are motivated by protecting their wallet or their motorsport hobbies.

I really have no axe to grind either way, bub.

I've just read a bit on it, and much like how I didn't have to read too far into religion to realize that it's hokum, this bullshit kinda stuck out as pretty obvious to me rather early on.

P.T. Barnum would have hated me.

what about if the MC rider was a Macro-cellular biochemist that deals with toxicology and anthropogenic disturbances in the aquatic enviroment that has worked for the EPA, TWRA, SFWMD and currently working with the TVA on a fly ash spill and the endangered freshwater mussels of the area?
