Warming seas decimate Bering Sea Snow Crab population

[Crick]

Not a good sign but an excellent wake up to the many deniers who seem to think that no harm can come from getting warmer. Eight billion to one billion in 3 years. A 40% population decline in the last year alone.

The Alaska snow crab harvest has been canceled for the first time ever after billions of the crustaceans have disappeared from the cold, treacherous waters of the Bering Sea in recent years.

Zero proof that it is due to “global warming” provided in this article. It mentions supposed “studies” of the sea temperature warming, yet provides no link to them.

Tell us again how atmospheric CO2 warms the Bering Sea.

Sane people are saying it disease

The raw data of ocean temps shows no ocean warming, which explains why there is no breakout in cane activity either.

There are too many humans now.

Too much food and fresh water being consumed.

Result = fires and threats to long term food supply

The global warming fraud is preventing that truth from exposure.

Oh, no
It is just an accident

Man can’t have anything to do with it.

Crabs are carrion and trash feeders. Just like lobsters, shrimp, oysters, clams and etc.
So...where the population is shrinking drastically it is not the first time these wild fluctuations in crab populations have happened.
Bearing sea ice is a contributing factor and not an overarching one.
And the biggest factor might be the lack of fish cleaning ships two years ago. As these traulers fish the caught fish are processed and cleaned on board with the trash dumped overboard...feeding the crabs.
Crabs eat fish guts and fins and bones get picked clean of bits of meat. Without the traulers working during the global shutdown two years ago the crabs went hungry and likely were unable to reproduce effectively during summer time.

For the hundredth time, there are no proofs in the natural sciences. If you think there are no studies on increasing sea temperatures, please allow me to disabuse you of that notion.

Return of warm conditions in the southeastern Bering Sea: Physics to fluorescence

From 2007 to 2013, the southeastern Bering Sea was dominated by extensive sea ice and below-average ocean temperatures. In 2014 there was a shift to reduced sea ice on the southern shelf and above-average ocean temperatures. These conditions continued ...

Record high Pacific Arctic seawater temperatures and delayed sea ice advance in response to episodic atmospheric blocking - Scientific Reports

Arctic sea ice is rapidly decreasing during the recent period of global warming. One of the significant factors of the Arctic sea ice loss is oceanic heat transport from lower latitudes. For months of sea ice formation, the variations in the sea surface temperature over the Pacific Arctic region...

Will that do? I can keep going if you like.

This is the second time you've claimed that fires are due to the human consumption of water. You seem to make a habit of claiming nonsense a 4th grader wouldn't buy. You should work on that.

I heard somewhere that ice melts. Science must be real.

I wish the bearing sea would freeze up and we send all of the asians back on foot.

Bonus points if the Atlantic freezes between here and Africa.

Especially to Snow Crap.

Who knew CRAP was so sentient?!!!

Absolutely hilarious that you keep insisting there are ocean temperature readings accurate to a tenth of a degree before digital thermometers

Bering Sea, you drooling moron.

This is likely these crab migrating to colder waters, and this comes on top of last season's King Crab harvest being halted for low numbers as well. This is two years in a row.
