Fisheries output to plunge unless global warming reeled in
Reuters ^ | March 8, 2018 | by Alister Doyle

OSLO - Global fisheries output will slump by 20 percent by 2300 and by 60 percent in the worst-hit North Atlantic region if governments fail to slow long-term global warming, a U.S. team of scientists said on Thursday.

Unchecked long-term warming would thaw sea ice around Antarctica and disrupt ocean currents, winds and the growth of tiny plankton, the report found. Worldwide, ever more nutrients would sink to the ocean depths, away from fish near the surface.

“Marine ecosystems worldwide will be increasingly starved for nutrients,” lead author J. Keith Moore of the University of California, Irvine, told Reuters of the findings published in the journal Science.

The shifts would cut the productivity of fisheries in 2300 by an average 20 percent and by 60 percent in the North Atlantic, where a normal upwelling of nutrients from deeper waters would be most reduced, according to computer simulations.

Moore said such long-term projections involve many uncertainties but add to existing concerns about more heat waves, downpours and droughts that mainstream scientists link to a build-up of man-made greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

“We need to be thinking 1,000 years into the future, not 100 years,” he wrote in an email. “Global warming isn’t a problem our children can solve - it will be too late.”

Charlotte Laufkoetter, a scientist at the University of Bern who was not involved in the study, praised the findings as based on the best existing science, despite the difficulty of projecting so far into the future.

Warp drives should be online by 2300, correct?

This says "global warming" is already being reeled-in:

‘Tis only the natural ebb and flow of this earth and Her ability to sustain herself in spite of these scientists whose pronouncements have led to costly mistakes.

What? The Tide Pod eating generation? I thought they could fix everything? If we have until 2300, then your kids might be able to stop drooling on themselves long enough to do something productive there, professor...

Well, at least these “scientists” won’t be around in three hundred years to be ridiculed over their bleating.

Yes, let's control the climate a thousand years from now.

A thousand years into the future and I still can’t figure out what those three shells are for.

The year 2300? Are they kidding?

Here in Maine, they can’t predict what the climate will do 5 days from now.

Cannot control Mother Nature idiots especially given that this planet has been undergoing ‘climate change’ (i.e.: global climate warming and cooling) since the inception of this planet’s atmosphere.....

If all the liberals jump off cliffs and into the sea, will that help?

Over Fishing , na ,forget that

Just to be clear there is NO SUCH thing as “over fishing”.

All fisheries are highly regulated. Yes, there are outlaw fishing operations, but they are in the minority. Most “over fishing” happens in the offices of various fisheries regulators as they play with their usually ginned up statistics to prove they are in some fashion useful.

There are many factors that determine fish stocks - for instance, the more seals and sealions, the fewer fish.

Fisheries regulators usually have an agenda - they are bureaucrats like weathermen who see climate change around every corner caused by the flavor du jour. Fisheries regulators are no different. They once served a purpose, but that purpose has been forgotten by many of them.

Only by 2300 says the soothsayer? Gee, pretty risky of him to go out on such a flimsy limb with that swag.

Just leave it to the Japanese. They will have figured out how to make jellyfish a delicacy by then.

The year 2300? You mean I can’t fish with my great great great great great (with a few more greats) grandkids? Darn it, i guess I will be decayed by 2300.

If it does in fact drop 20% in 300 years, due to overheating of the planet, i give that generation my permission to sit up and take notice...
