Global Warming Will Create too Many Male Fish

July 31, 2008

 You have to give the global warming alarmists a gold medal in creativeness, the latest problem that will come from man-made global warming is too many male fish. If they are nothing else they are imaginative. This is so absurd that I can’t even get worked up about it any more. The more “research” that “scientists” do to study the possible effects of global warming the more ludicrous they become. Soon the “scientists” will become laughingstocks, won’t they? There has to come a time when people finally say that these “theories” have gone too far and are unbelievable. To me they already are, but to read stories about fish sex and global warming it just reaffirms my thoughts about this scam.

“We found that in fish that do have temperature-dependent sex determination [TSD], a rise in water temperature of just 1.5 degrees Celsius can change the male-to-female ratio from 1:1 to 3:1,” says Piferrer, the study’s co-author. In especially sensitive fish, a greater increase can throw the balance even more out of whack. Ospina-Alvarez and Piferrer have found that in the South American pejerrey, for example, an increase of 4 degrees Celsius can result in a population that is 98% male.

  What else can I say? What will they think of next? First cats are breeding too quickly because of global warming and now there will be too many male fish.

 I can only hope that the more and more ridiculous the stories become, the more people will walk away from this hoax.

    Heeheheehehahahahahwhoooo, this is too funny!

    What if I am a female ‘fish’ (PISCES)? This has to be a GOOD THING!

    Seriously, will liberals ever stop being outrageously ridiculous?

    I don’t see what’s funny about this. This is a rather interesting scientific discovery.

    What’s the right wing’s problem with greater understanding of the world we live in? Does knowledge cause them pain in some way?

    ok….I can see the initial humor in reading something like this. But where in this article does the author provide any scientific information that states this is false? Is this article nothing more than an armchair response to something that he hasn’t any clue? What a weak response. If anything, he sounds defensive.

    this information about the fish is funny…but where do you state valid, no wait any information about this being true.. you idiot… does knowledge hurt you so much… you afraid you might have to sell your suv becasue of global warming… people like you are the reason the world is fucked up you inbred!!! stop hugging your bible and rifle you fool.

    The GW lunies have also run a study showing that warming causes a bumper crop of Lemmings causing them to have to compete for food and water. But there is good news, another study shows that GW will kill a substantial amount of fungi in northern forests thus reducing the amount of carbon dioxide the fungi exudes.

    Knowledge is a good thing and the pursuit of knowledge for understanding is a good thing. Pursuit of knowledge in the pursuit of grant money is a bad thing.

    ================================================
    Half the Amazon Rainforest to be Lost by 2030
    ———————————————————————————–
    (NaturalNews) Due to the effects of global warming and deforestation, more than half of the Amazon rainforest may be destroyed or severely damaged by the year 2030, according to a report released by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

    The report, “Amazon’s Vicious Cycles: Drought and Fire,” concludes that 55 percent of the world’s largest rainforest stands to be severely damaged from agriculture, drought, fire, logging and livestock ranching in the next 22 years. Another 4 percent may be damaged by reduced rainfall caused by global warming. This is anticipated to destroy up to 80 percent of wildlife habitat in the region.

    This saddens me that certain people with little or no educational background (particularly scientific) comment in such a way on something they do not understand. It is one point to disagree with a statement, but it is yet another to attempt to tear down an issue because of one’s political affiliation or “common sense.” As Voltaire stated, common sense is not so common. I have a degree in ecology and evolutionary biology and global warming is simply a grab bag term for environment change. The scientific study is simply commenting on the fact that fish eggs are temperature dependent. If Mr. Pink knew anything about fish or biology in general, he might know that fish don’t have X and Y chromosomes like Humans do. Their sex is determined by the surrounding temperature of the water. If the water temperature increases, ergo the fish are male. Sometimes, science groups do pursue certain subjects in order to get grant money, but trust me the government is far less likely to give out money to global warming enthusiasts than they are for cancer research or something in that vein. Come on, George Bush HATES the environment.

    So please, leave the criticism to people involved in science. And try to understand the difference between a regular person’s definition of “theory” and a scientific “theory,” they are most certainly different.

    Hey!

    This could be a good thing considering all the estrogen & estrogen mimics getting into the environment turning male fish, amphibians, & reptiles into females, this is just what’s needed to restore gender balance! Not all fish are TSD sensitive, though. But, alas, contrary to the AGW hype, the earth has been cooling since 1998 anyway. Bummer!

    Of course the biggest impact on the earth’s overall climate is ignored by algore & the IPCC: the sun and sunspot activity. Shhhhh! Let’s not talk about that! If people smarten up and realize that fact it’ll blow our AGW propaganda all to hell and then how will we fleece the unwashed masses? Damn! This is ‘settled’, didn’t you know? We have [manufactured] ‘consensus’!

    And all y’all that want to lower CO2, well just stop breathing, eh? Just cover your mouths right now and hold your CO2 laden breath ’til you turn blue, OK? Hold your farts, too, that’s methane, you know?

    All that hot air in the UN and other political assemblies generates more CO2 than bovines generating CH4! They ought to be ashamed of themselves, ‘polluting’ the atmosphere every time they open their mouths and all that fuel they burn getting to and from those ‘climate summits’! Yessiree, it’s just dandy to make gobs of CO2 when you’re a powerful, caring elitist! All for the ‘greater good’ of course! But then w/o CO2, how would the plants and trees make O? Hey! Let’s hold yet another summit!

    A theory’s a theory regardless of what ‘discipline’ it’s postulated in. Webster’s doesn’t differentiate between a ‘run-of-the-mill’ theory and ‘scientific’ theory. Nice try. It’s just that better theories are anchored a little closer to the known facts. AGW is just a WAG (wild ass guess) used as an environmental boogey man to scare the herd to the elite’s bidding. AGW is more hypothesis than theory and not a very good one at that.

    Ya really wanna fix it? Grab your pitchfork! You bring the tar, I’ll bring the feathers!

    Ending the Federal Reserve’s monopoly of creating funny money out of thin air by the Congressionally delegated privilege of doing so (1913), will do more to set right the natural order of things, restore life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and reduce CO2 emissions and cow farts around the world than any other single act. Restore natural law and environmental order: Now’s the time, end the Fed in 2009!

    i think it is useless studying like that if we did not make an effort to preserve the beauty of the earth,the best thing we need to do is to protect our invironment and help those people who are trying to preserve the beauty of the earth..the thing that causes of the global warming is science..the science is keep developing to get more money..but if they realize that money is useless if the world is gone, i think they will kill theirselves..science is good but it reaches beyond the limitations.
