Reply to comment by kowz76 in Alaska's cancellation of the snow crab season offers a grave, potential prediction for Maine's lobster industry. by combatbydesign
Yes. Are you struggling to understand the correlation here? It's pretty simple: fishing areas are changing rapidly due to climate change, and the shellfish industry is an early indicator of the growing crisis. What is happening to snow crabs could be an indicator of what will soon happen to the lobster industry.
None of this is hard to understand or incorrect. Scientists and policy makers routinely extrapolate from incomplete data to draw conclusions, and so far it's turned out the climatologists who have warned us since at LEAST the 1950's of this problem have been dead right on.
And still we do nothing. Because fuck the world, fuck us, let's let the entire food chain collapse and twist and morph disrupting our ability to feed 7 billion people even as we demand higher birth rates to create "growth" for the corporations who are dragging us into this shitty abyss. Starvation and mass deaths is in our near future, but hey... corporations don't care, that's the price we pay for "free markets" and our "free dumbs!"
