Going deaf is not a problem that most of us would automatically associate with global warming. For coral reef fish, however, hotter seas could pose a real threat.

[dynachrome]

Is there anything that globull warming can’t do?

LOL

[spanalot]

Yeah - what happened to their ears?

[steelyourfaith]

 

[appleharvey]

How long before a new government program funding cochlear implants for fish begins?

[RightWhale]

This is peak warming now. This is what peak warming is like. So the fish are deaf; they never listened anyway.

[JasonC]

Why yes, thanks for asking. It can't make the slightest sense or square itself with the laws of physics. Since you asked...

pure globaloney..

I am sick of hearing “Global Warming” anything. It is a farce.
Any temperature change is 100% natural and in no way man-made. If the oceans warm and cause fish who have no ears to go deaf... then that must be God’s plan.

To think that we, the created, can actually derail God - the CREATOR’s plan is sheer lunacy.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The globull warming freaks talk like the earth has NEVER gone through a warming period and that EVERYTHING is now at risk.

[A CA Guy]

Political Global Warming can’t feed your family, make for good energy policy or advance and form of logic as we know it. So, it is good for the Democrat party where reality and truth are both permanently suspended.

[dynachrome]

“Can you hear me now?”

[alwaysconservative]

Oh my goodness! They’re really reaching, aren’t they?

Thanks for the ping, and for giving me the opportunity to enjoy the kind of laugh at idiots I needed today! (And that was just the headline—rim shot!)

[doc1019]

Millions and millions and millions and millions of years ago, global warming occurred. As a consequence, all the fish in the seas lost their ears … doncha know. ;)

[Gorzaloon]

Whew, almost clicked on a NewScientist link by mistake. Thank heavens the hosts file would have caught it.

By "New Scientist" it is meant "'Scientist' who took courses after the SAT's were renormed so many times, there was nothing left but social indoctrination".

"Old Scientists" are ones who actually took and understood Physics and Chemistry. As they die off or retire, the stage will be cleared for an endless supply of this nonsense, and none will even recognize it.

On a brighter note, there are some good teachers and students around, but I suspect they are getting lonely.

It's because they stopped riding bicycles, I bet.

[doc1019]

Once upon a time they had legs too!!! Would have never guessed. Nasty stuff, that global warming. I shall henceforth have greater respect for all the fish I catch. ;-)

LOL!

[BlueDragon]

Right at the end, the other possibility is mentioned;

Otolith asymmetry is extremely common, Popper [Arthur Popper, director of the Aquatic Bioacoustics Laboratory at the University of Maryland, College Park, US] points out, and he says he's not convinced that it would affect a fish's ability to locate a sound.

Meanwhile, due to the headline skimming habits of the general public, the damage [to truth] is continued, accomplished by way of distortions, false "scientific" claims, exaggerations, and the now ever present innuendo.
earth -- good. fishys --- good. man --- Ba-aad!

[vets son]

That’s funny, I thought I heard last week that if the water got too hot their eyes would melt.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

I like your tag-line. I’ll raise you one:

[Humble Servant]

Somebody has to work up a version of the Sat. Night Live “News For the Hard Of Hearing:” routine for fish, with whoever it was screaming at that talking bass.

[BenLurkin]

Their ears will melt and then their eyes?

Cities on Flame With Rock and Roll!

[Paleo Conservative]

I think this guy is a greater threat to tropical fish.

[StACase]

[ully2]

I get it, we need some $$$$$ for a new study.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Tropical fish going deaf say:

WE'RE Doomed!

[Ditto]

They jumped the shark long ago... now the AWG cult is jumping the guppies.

[TheBattman]

Josiah?

[Entrepreneur]

Is there anything that globull warming can’t do?

Censor/shut up James Hansen.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

2 Kings 22&23 - Josiah was the last good king of Judah, who together with Hilkiah the priest tore down the high places where false gods were worshipped. Josiah’s reforms and public reading of the Word led the people to remember their covenant with God.

Indeed, godly leadership is needed today.

[TheBattman]

Ahhh...thought maybe you knew of some Amish guy running for POTUS...heheheh
