Frank, can you improve your general science knowledge to a level that would allow you to formulate questions that actually have some meaning or merit?

This outbreak happens every few years and across a vast region according to the OP's link and has been happening for as long as they have been keeping history.

But then along comes the AGW nutters, who without evidence to support their supposition, claim global warming is the cause....

 

[Crick]

No, the OP says "The disease is caused by a microscopic parasite - and is known to occur in Canada, the U.S. and Europe. The disease has been documented previously in two isolated locations in central Montana over the past 20 years. Recent outbreaks have occurred in Washington, Oregon and Idaho.

Where do you find they've said "...has been happening for as long as they have been keeping history."

 

[flacaltenn]

A lot of jumping to conclusions about a "rare" event.

One thing that comes to mind is the high percentage of "farmed fish" that are released into these waters by "management". The NorthWest is dotted with "stock fish" facilities. And this selective breeding could VERY WELL make the fish more susceptible to these parasites.

Well --- What do you know.............

ODFW Whirling Disease and Oregon's Trout and Salmon

Just the concentration of gene pool and the crowded facilities that raise stock game fish can be a vector for this parasite. Makes sense. Article says "whirling disease" is NEVER found in wild strains of the same fish.

Might be anthropogenic --- but not much to do with the climate -- Bullwinkle.

More like a failure thereof. Anthropogenic changes tend to be faster than evolutionary adaptation can cope

Bullshit...and you can't provide a single proxy reconstruction that has the resolution necessary for you to make such a claim...you are just talking out of your ass making it up as you go....typical.

 

[Crick]

The current situation requires no proxies and has occurred thousands of times faster than evolutionary adaptation could even begin to deal with.

 

[SSDD]

The current situation requires no proxies and has occurred thousands of times faster than evolutionary adaptation could even begin to deal with.

The current situation has nothing to do with climate....as usual...it is due to unintended consequences of liberals.

So, we're back to the massive, global conspiracy. Do you have any idea how obvious it is that none of you deniers have jack squat?
