The Atlantic giant tuna, for one. Cod and halibut, as well.<br /><br />In the GOM, it's king mackeral and swordfish.<br /><br />The catch on a per-hour, per boat basis in many areas is way down. More effort, lower incomes to fishermen. In many areas, fewer fishermen.<br /><br />State wildlife agency data is quite informative, as to the near-shore waters of our coasts.Desertrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09860257698839313423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-47832451492257656122011-06-23T08:41:30.007-07:002011-06-23T08:41:30.007-07:00My favorite character in Start Trek was 'Spock...My favorite character in Start Trek was 'Spock' the Vulcan. His line 'simple logic will suffice' while he raised the left eyebrow was always whimsical. What made it funny was the truism of it. A big problem today is that most people don't think, don't make their own observations of the world around them, and don't use simple logic, least of all people who suck up the drivel from sources like the Huffington Post, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, etc. The naiveté of people who listen to this trash and buy it hook, line, and sinker is utterly astounding. <br /><br />When a power company was having hearings about builting a nuke plant along the river in the area where I was raised, all you heard from the enviro-nazies was the warm discharge water from the cooling towers flowing into the river would have devastating effects on the fish and wildlife. Eventually the plant was constructed and started and the fish and wildlife flocked around those discharge pipes and the warm pool of water it made in the river like it was a tropical paradise. Apparently the fish, foul, reptiles, and amphibians like warm water as much as humans do.<br /><br />Don't whales, dolphins, sea bass, blue fish and a host of marine life migrate from the cold waters of the artic or antartic through the gulf stream and back again many times during their lives where we are talking a temperature gradient of 30 degrees or more? So we are supposed to buy into the garbage that a degree or two rise in ocean temperature is going to kill off all the sea creatures? <br /><br />Every nuclear device on earth detonated under water at the same instant would not generate enough heat and energy to have any appreciable effect on global ocean water temperature. So how can anything man is doing raise the temperature of the ocean water?<br /><br />These snake oil peddlers bank on people being gullible and not using the brains the good Lord has provided them.<br /><br />Simple logic will suffice....Will Harmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517056183463981595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-84568153708151222472011-06-23T06:20:00.834-07:002011-06-23T06:20:00.834-07:00@Alan:

The were held by the Heartland Institute and were called NIPCC. Their lenghty reports are not gloom and doom.

I'd put myself in the conservationalist school, but with the caveat that we have enough national forests, parks and refuges at this point in our history.

Anyone, scientist or not, who is contemplating joining the enviro-fascists should first read Michael Crichton's excellent book, "State of Fear". Not only does he provide plenty of evidence disproving global warming, but he also exposes radical environmentalism for what it is: a hateful political movement designed, like most, to put a select few in charge of everyone else's lives.<br />Personally, I call myself a conservationist, mainly because I think we should be responsible about our use of resources. Most radical environmentalists and hippies scorn people like that, but if they want to take offence, that's their problem.James Enfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05887897798505326917noreply@blogger.com
