Global Warming Produces Plague of Giant Jellyfish

Written By : Dave Blount

Even as the wheels come loose from the discredited global warming hoax, the statist media continues to fabricate exotic new threats in an increasingly farcical attempt to scare us into believing in the liberal elite’s favorite Trojan horse for totalitarianism. Now we need the Authorities to do something really drastic or we’ll be menaced by giant jellyfish:

A blood-orange blob the size of a small refrigerator emerged from the dark waters, its venomous tentacles trapped in a fishing net. Within minutes, hundreds more were being hauled up, a pulsating mass crowding out the catch of mackerel and sea bass.

The fishermen leaned into the nets, grunting and grumbling as they tossed the translucent jellyfish back into the bay, giants weighing up to 200 kilograms (450 pounds), marine invaders that are putting the men’s livelihoods at risk. …

Scientists believe climate change — the warming of oceans — has allowed some of the almost 2,000 jellyfish species to expand their ranges, appear earlier in the year and increase overall numbers, much as warming has helped ticks, bark beetles and other pests to spread to new latitudes.

The gelatinous seaborne creatures are blamed for decimating fishing industries in the Bering and Black seas, forcing the shutdown of seaside power and desalination plants in Japan, the Middle East and Africa, and terrorizing beachgoers worldwide, the U.S. National Science Foundation says.

The only solution to a plague of giant jellyfish is still more bloated and omnipresent Big Government, as AP hastens to make clear.

“We have been getting rid of jellyfish. But no matter how hard we try, the jellyfish keep coming and coming,” said Fumio Oma, whose crew is out of work after their net broke under the weight of thousands of jellyfish. “We need the government’s help to get rid of the jellyfish.” …

Addressing the surge in jellyfish blooms in most places will require long-term fixes, such as introducing fishing quotas and pollution controls, as well as capping greenhouse gas emissions to control global warming, experts said.

What experts? What are they experts on? Never mind, all experts know what they’re talking about or they wouldn’t be experts, and the experts say jellyfish belong on The List.

If legislation isn’t passed, they’ll soon crawl out of the sea to attack underprivileged children.

“Scientists believe climate change — the warming of oceans —”

I’ve noticed they don’t even try trotting out data any more, just “scientists believe” or “scientists say”.

I use to take my kids to a little beach on the Gulf of Mexico. We went twice this summer and both times they were stung by jellies. They refuse to go back to this beach.We have been going to this beach for about 7 years and the jelly problem didn’t start until 2008. I’m not sure what is causing this, but I know the solution to the problem isn’t sending Al Gore more money.

Thankfully, there are fresh water springs in the area we can go swimming at. The one we like best I have to rent a canoe to get to, but this gets them out into the water. We also get to see manatees this way.

Jellyfish…found in the sea…

Who’da thunk?

Of the three things contributing to global jellyfish bloom, global warming is only about the third most important. The single most important is overfishing. Remove fish from the water, get more jellyfish regardless of the temperature. The second most important is agricultural run off. Increased warmth in the oceans is contributing, but if that increased warmth is from a natural cycle there is very little we can do about it. Even if it isn’t, doing something about it is enormously expensive.

All that gobal warming jibber jabber is serving to do right now is descredit environmentalism and distract from real and solveable conservation issues that we could address if we weren’t so busy trying to foist communism on people in the name of environmentalism.

Al Gore was on Conan. He was talking about geothermal. He claimed “It definitely is, and it’s a relatively new one. People think about geothermal energy — when they think about it at all — in terms of the hot water bubbling up in some places, but two kilometers or so down in most places there are these incredibly hot rocks, ’cause the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees, and the crust of the earth is hot …”

If it was several million degrees a couple of kilometers below the surface, we would not be a planet, we would be a star. No wonder Al refuses to debate. He knows nothing he says is true. You couldn’t boil water from the heat a couple of kilos down.

Very good written information. It will be valuable to anyone who usess it, as well as myself. Keep up the good work – for sure i will check out more posts.
