Highest concentrations of chlorophyll and highest levels of fluorescence are red; lower values are green and blue.

The red tide is clearly visible as the oval-shaped red area to the west of the shore in the Nov. 21 image from the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) flying on the OrbView-2 satellite. The high chlorophyll concentrations occur between Charlotte Harbor and the Florida Keys, which matches the location of the bloom.

Ok. I guess I'm stupid. But if this is a spectro analysis of the water content, then how come there is no coloration in the clouds?

Since the clouds are also made of water (vapor), wouldn't there also be a spectrum respresentation of their content as well?

From what I've seen, the sea lion problem along the west coast is somewhat like the Canada goose pestilence in the northeast.

Seems like a decrease in their numbers would be welcomed.

I always thought that toxoplasmosis can also occur from eating uncooked or undercooked red meat, not only from cat feces.

What is it with dogs? And then they want to lick you in the face.

Must be a delicacy to them.

Yep, the millions of cats swimming in Pacific coastal waters are decimating sea otters.

Okay, this one is on my top 10 list for the most stupid junk science reports of the year.

Will the peer reviews get published on the back of Fancy Feast cans or in Road Kill-Unlimited magazine?

Trichinosis can come from eating rare pork.

"But, Toxoplasma gondii can only reproduce in cats, which shed the parasites in their feces. Although cats will only shed new parasites once in a lifetime, millions come out at once."

Bwa-hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!

"Scientists estimate that up to 25 percent of the U.S. population may be infected with this same parasite, but people rarely show symptoms. If they do, it might just appear as a flu-like illness."

Yep, all the people swimming with the otters are infected with millions of parasites that cats shed once in a lifetime.


BwaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa!!!

Conrad, you untenured moron, you have a career waiting in the clown circus.
