These are the same people who tell us that we’re supposed to believe in Darwinism and that everything naturally evolved, and that belief in God and Intelligent Design are just stupid, but also expect everything to stay Exactly The Same on Earth
‘Fish Wars’ Loom as Climate Change Warms Waters
Accelerating climate change means increasingly that cooler waters tempt fish to more tolerable regions. The result? Decades of diplomacy in creating fishing agreements to fix quotas and protect valuable species count for little, because the fish are moving hundreds of miles to distant seas.
This is raising fears of conflict between countries over one of the world’s most valuable food resources, according to research by a consortium of 17 marine scientific institutions led by the Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries at the University of British Columbia (UBC).
Fish and other marine animals have already been moving at a rate of 45 miles a decade, and these shifts are expected to continue or even accelerate. The UBC study, published in the journal Science, looked at 892 fish stocks from around the globe to show that climate change is driving them towards the poles.
Apparently, because you drove a fossil fueled vehicle there will soon be no fish in the oceans below the polar circles. It’s not like the planet hasn’t warmed and cooled plenty of times in just the last 20,000 years. But, life is never supposed to change on Earth, you know!
But, take a guess what they want for a solution?
The study also cites international fisheries disputes including the “mackerel war†between Iceland and the European Union in 2007. It suggests that, to avoid conflicts, governments should implement solutions such as allowing the trade of fishing permits or quotas across international boundaries.
Funny how part of the solution always means more and more Big Government, eh?
TEACH:
You reject biological evolution? Really?
Hate to tell you, but even Darwin saw major holes in his theory. He hoped science would eventually find the answer, but, in a lot of cases, it just hasn’t.
And science is proving a lot of the Pentateuch correct.
So you might want to be a lot nicer to the Airborne Ranger In The Sky.
TEACH:
Those beliefs are not stupid, but they are beliefs, and are not supported by scientific evidence.
Of course they are.
Did you know there’s no scientific explanation for the development of the eye? It did not evolve. At one point in the paleontological record, it just appears. No evolutionary trail of development.
Untrue. What the ID folks ignore (intentionally) is the evolution of functional components of complex organs. Even the mitochondria from simple eukaryotic cells appear to have derived from bacteria. Biology co-opts genes and proteins and functions, often combining them for new uses. Even bacterial respond to light. Fossil eyes date back some 550 million years to the Cambrian period. Is it your contention that a Designer created primitive eyes 550 million years ago? Why not modern eyes? Did the designer recreate the eyes for each species from older versions?
Aniridia type II protein (AN2), a transcription factor from the PAX-6 gene, controls the development of the eye in animals from fruit flies, to octopus to mammals. Opsins, the class of photo-sensitive proteins found in photoreceptor cells are related in structure and sequence in all eukaryotes.
Darwin said in 1859:
“Accelerating climate change means that cooler waters temp fish to move….â€. Cooler waters? Hmm.
“Fish Wars”? Will that be on the TLC channel, or NatGeo?
