Over fishing created the ecological niche, but warmer waters depressed the cold-water fish stocks and created the opportunity that the jellyfish (and crabs, depending on species) took advantage of. Both arguments are right, first the one, then the other.Charles Kingsley Michaelson, IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364694465614330540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-78255403683079368072009-11-03T09:52:43.854-06:002009-11-03T09:52:43.854-06:00The cod and flatfish that once dominated the food ...<i> The cod and flatfish that once dominated the food chain in the icy waters have been</i><br /><br />Fished into extinction mainly - the massive over feeding of the algae with nitrates and phosphorous causing algae bloom and massive poisoning of the sea bottom did not help either. <br /><br />Canada did the same stunt of replacing Cod with Crab well before climate change was invented ... but it's better to setup a vast bureaucracy trading CO2 certificates to maybe change something in 140 years than it is to change something we can measure the results of changing NOW ... better for the useless and the incompetent that will retire in comfort on the proceeds.fajensennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-3080760464957182002009-11-03T02:20:27.373-06:002009-11-03T02:20:27.373-06:00Thanks for the link!

Yet more evidence (as if we needed it) that corporate bottom-lines take precedence over what's best for the country.kwarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-49532261403079304922009-11-02T19:04:06.941-06:002009-11-02T19:04:06.941-06:00Krugman continues to demonstrate that IQ is overra...Krugman continues to demonstrate that IQ is overrated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
