One theory is that global warming is heating up the seawater and encouraging jellyfish breeding. They're just blaming everything on that. What's the difference? A couple of degrees at the most extreme? like floating 10-50 miles south?

They look like the giant blancmanges that invaded Wimbledon and turned everyone they didn't eat into Scotsmen. In that case, the answer also was to eat them.

Some observers blame heavy rains in China over the summer, which flowed out from rivers and propelled abnormal numbers of jellyfish towards Japan. Nutrients in its river water may have given them extra zip or overfishing has allowed the growth of the populations of plankton on which the jellyfish feed. In the early 1980's I was SCUBA diving in the Aegean Sea off Greece, the jellyfish were washing up by the thousands on the beach (small ones, about 6"-1' across). The beaches were shut down for swimmers, but for divers (with wetsuits) it was a awesome event to see, hundreds of thousands of jellyfish (quite beautiful) in the water. I would give much to be able to watch a spectacle like this (SCUBA of course), jellyfish this size are a one in a lifetime event.....global warming.......BS.
