The Bering Sea snow crab season was canceled after billions of crabs disappeared, devastating Alaska’s fishing industry and the livelihoods of those who depend on it → • Marine Biologist: Why ...
UPDATE: I've been advocating for this since the beginning and am extremely happy to see that the U.S. Department of Commerce has announced a series of disaster relief for Alaska’s fisheries. This should mean relief funding for the Bristol Bay red king crab and Bering Sea snow crab fisheries: www.alaskasnewssource.com/202...
As always, I have cited my sources and provided links such as these studies taken a month after the Fukushima disaster:

[3] www.unscear.org/docs/publicat...
In 2014, the US FDA stated there was "no evidence that radionuclides from the Fukushima incident were present in the U.S. food supply." So it is unlikely that radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster caused the snow crab disappearance.

Is overfishing from China and Russia to blame for the missing snow crabs? The US Coast Guard has said that “unreported and unregulated fishing is the No. 1 global maritime security threat.”

[2] www.uscg.mil/iuufishing/#:~:t...
A study by the World Wildlife Federation found “three-quarters of the king crab consumed in the US market comes from Russia” also there were “major discrepancies between the amount of king crab reported to be caught in Russian waters and the amount imported into countries.”

U are simply amazing and smart 🤓🤓💓🔥
Not specifically talking about snow crabs, but I think you are underestimating the the scope of the Chinese fishing fleets reach. They are dominating the seas of Africa and plundering of the coast of south America including the Galapagos Islands. I am astonished that a marine biologist would play this problem down.
@@raclark2730 i said it’s a huge problem. Just not for these crabs. Which is what the video is about.
@@KPassionate You stated that it was mostly restricted to the Yellow sea, the South China sea and the Korean straits, that is not the case. By the way I am not against Chinese people or their fishermen. The fault is entirely on their government, and any governments that are letting them get away with it.
@@raclark2730 could be an idea for a different video but this video focuses on the Bering sea
Nah, the crabs just banded together and decided they were tired of being on "The Deadliest Catch." It's actually a strike against Hollywood😆 . Kidding aside, great video!
Thank you!
@@KPassionate It was inevitable. After seeing how effective the King Crab strike of 2021 was; the Snow Crabs realized it was time to unionize.
I agree with your theory.
Lmao, good one
I think its super simple, the water in the crabs normal territory has gotten warmer, they've moved north under the ice shelves.
Yep
You can say the same thing about the lobsters on the east coast moving north to cooler waters.
SIMPLE LOGIC NIC WORK 100%. CORRECT ALIEN'S WHAT A LOT OF CRAP , BLAME IT ON CHINA & RUSSIA. BULLSHIT , NUCLEAR DISASTER MORE PROPAGANDA
One thing I’ve learned from my years on the internet, it’s always aliens.
Hahaha ALWAYS!
I live in Ketchikan, AK and the main topic of conversation is the snow crab issue. Many people I've talked to that belong to fishing families believe it is a combination of causes. The biggest blame they believe, considering the drastic numbers, is that warming of the water would cause a massive migration. They say that overfishing/bycatch is a contributing cause of lower populations for a range of species.
Great to have this insight! That’s what I believe as well.
Liberals so stupid they don't understand air is made of 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, and 1% Hydrogen with 0.05% CO2. To top that off, 99.999999999% of 0.05% of CO2 comes from microorganisms. Every square inch of Earth is microorganisms. Why do you put food inside freezers? Cold temperatures prevent bacterial growth. Same thing with Earth. Temperatures go down, bacterial growth goes down than CO2 goes down and vice versa. Look at any global temperature graph of Earth in billions of years. Temperature always had cyclical change. Always!!. Liberals soo stupid they don't understand what the sun is, which is a fusion reaction of two different isotopes of hydrogen tritium and deuterium overcoming nuclear bonds with gravity, which is extremely inefficient and causes temperature to change.
I was there over the summer.
The White Sun is causing this high temperatures and changing currents. The Sun used to be yellow, but the massive damage done to our ionosphere by all the space activities have dangerously diminished our atmosphere and this why we see the White Sun. It’s doing harm to our farms here in Spain that are not in greenhouses.
I'm a seafood processor in Alaska we had a record catch on cod, salmon, pollock, herring and snow crab earlier this year! I had to work 18hrs a day cooking snow crab! Now we all out of work this season! Guess we all have to look for seasonal job at Amazon for this holiday! Sorry folks no snow carb buffets this year! 🤕
I will be laughing next year at this time when the currents change again the the crabs are back in plenty. Foolish micro-alarmists
Governments around the world have been attacking all food resource groups and pushing the fake science climate change agenda and that’s a fact.
Strangely, the logic is people can fix climate change if they pay more taxes 🤔
Weird coincidence that a government department is reporting they can’t find any crab and everybody believes them. Wake up people
All tha Yaboos are gonna be upset in dema'Rat city's
Any thoughts on whether increased geo-thermal activity from the ring of fire could be at play too?
You had me right up until you said TIN foil hats. They are aluminum foil hats. Elemental accuracy is important when you are asking for people to trust the veracity of your statements and position. Nah. It’s just fun being a d$&k sometimes!😂
This is a very enjoyable submission!
Fair...next time I will research my metals more lol
Don't forget the little bit of lead in the aluminum foil -- it helps make coneheads even less clever!
Just crazy to see a decline that rapid. I'd love to see a video on ocean acidification.
Noted! I’ll put it on the list
I actually don’t think it is an impossibility that human overfishing contributed to the fall of the snow crab look at the passenger pigeon there used billions of them and now they are extinct because of humans over hunting them.
It is a contributing factor I’m sure
Very interesting!👍
Thank you for sharing this video~🤗
Thanks for watching!
@@KPassionate It is not the crabs shutting us down... it is these uninvited social engineers who have hi-jacked our fisheries - and who in no way contribute to the industry!
excellent production !! Love the facts !!
Thank you so much! We are a pretty young channel but excited to be getting better every video.
My guess was gonna be pretty much be the answer you gave - a combination of events driven primarily by those events resulting from climate change. It's possible ocean acidification might be playing a particularly large role as it could possible be affecting the development of their shells.
Ocean acidification isn’t as widely talked about as I think it should be. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
crabs magically disappearing is a conspiracy theory
Abracadabra alakazam -- poof -- snow crabs disappeared!
Low probability of it working, but
no conspiracy required.
How long will it take to have a sense of whether the populations are rebounding or not?
Good question. Luckily they reproduce very quickly and hopefully can recover if conditions are right over a couple of years. But if the conditions remain poor they may not recover at all
I love your channel! I found your channel a couple of weeks back.Thank you! Is there any evidence that seismic activity could cause a mass migration of crab?
If illegal fishing took somewhere between 1 billion and 11 billion crabs you would think the price of snow crab would be next to zero.
Also the total estimated released radioactivity from Fukushima through all pathways is still roughly 1/30 the amount of radioactivity released by nuclear weapons test performed at Bikini atoll which didn't kill off any fish in the North Pacific. The concentration of cesium in the background now is 1/16 what it was when I was born because it's decayed twice and it's dispersed quite a bit. I mentioned this because what used to be considered normal background radiation in the 1960s was at least 10 times higher than anything measured on our side of the Pacific from Fukushima.
I've just discovered your website and watched a couple of your programs [snow crabs, polar bears, new species of Orcas] and think you are splendid! Just to let you know, you are not alone in your passion to campaign for preserving our precious planet and its amazing biodiversity. I am not a scientist like you, but retired from a language teaching teaching job in England UK. However, I have spent the last 30 years and more using rhymed and metered poetry in Urdu [my mother-tongue] to reach out to Urdu speakers around the globe [in India, Pakistan, and Urdu-speaking diaspora in Europe, America, the Middle East, Australia and elsewhere ...] trying to raise awareness about our rampant consumerism and unchecked growing numbers and the impact all this is having on Nature's delicate and intricate webs of life. Thank you so much for your programs. I have subscribed and will be watching your programs and learning from them, and when I have a chance, I will mention the good work you are doing as a scientist in my essays as well. ❤❤👋👍
I appreciate you K.
Not nearly as much as I appreciate you!
Great video! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Can I have that 9 minutes if my life again?
I doubt you'd do anything worthwhile with it. So no.
😆 It was like watching a seal choking on a fish 🤣
@@KPassionate Dumb answer. Lady.
Me three !
I am loving this channel! The disappearance of the snow crab both terrifies and fascinates me.. it's hard for me to imagine that climate change isn't playing a role in this. We can't just lose tens of billions of pounds of ice a day and it not be habitat affecting in just salinity alone, not to mention temperature chance. I feel like best case scenario for the snow crab is worse case scenario for humanity. That it's just getting too warm and they moved further into Russian waters 🤞
Glad you are liking the videos! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 💙
@@SunriseLAW It very well could mean to not support these company's, which is how I interpreted it
Liberals so stupid they don't understand air is made of 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, and 1% Hydrogen with 0.05% CO2. To top that off, 99.999999999% of 0.05% of CO2 comes from microorganisms.

@@KPassionate Life has only gotten harder for the Alaska fisherman since the Marine Fisheries Observers started boarding us twenty-five years ago... now we have to give up our livelihood to crooks and gangsters from another land?
Her video states that the highest population was in 2018 when the waters were warmer. The climate is changing. What hasn't changed is that scientists can't tell us how much human influence there is in climate change. And they can't explain why climate changed before the industrial revolution just as much if not more. We should be more concerned with acidification of our waters. IMHO That and overfishing. Although I think she's right about that.
The crabs migrated to friendlier waters.
Humans are to blame for the Mars polar caps melting.
Water ph will eventually lead to inability for shell development
That's not what the historical data indicates. Shellfish have thrived for millions of years with extreme CO2 levels way above the modest level we currently have. You did say ph, but you get the point.
definitely aliens, from the Crab Nebula .....
Hahaha yeesssssss!
Not belittling the Fukushima meltdown at all, but according to news reports, continental drift is creating a new continent, "Amasia." North America and Asia are hurtling towards each other at 1 inch per year. As they move towards each other, the waters of the Pacific Ocean are being pushed aside. This tectonic change in the continents would result in the water changing the currents and impacting the fish, crabs, octopus etc in ways we can't imagine.
I have heard the Fukushima meltdown was described as a eventual plant killer from radiation. I also herd the us fda changed the acceptable limits of radiation
WELCOME TO THE SYSTEM OF GREED. BETTER KNOWN AS THE CAPITALIST SYSTEM
Wanna talk conspiracy theories? 3 words: Trawlers, Pollock, McDonalds
I’m disappointed you didn’t cover aliens 😢😂
Could it be the volcano eruption in Tonga? That shockwave was felt all over the world.
That incident was sketchy. Could’ve been a nuclear weapon.
Changing the topic to something more adorable - seals.
Are you aware of the work/videos from Ocean Conservation Nambia? He/they tour the coasts looking for seals in distress tangled in fishing line, nets and hooks. Incredible stuff.
I conducted a fundraiser for them this year raising about 12k if i remember correctly. They have invited me to come out to Namibia. As they are just kayaking tour guides I am very glad they decided not to "stay in their lane" as you put it.
You're WAY too smart for me to take that misquote seriously. Keep up the great work glad you're onboard with OCN - not surprised 😁
Stay close to the creatures and keep your passion alive. I live in the Caribbean and am focused on what is happening with the AMOC.
They were stolen like the bees were.
For the mountain.
I love snow crab. Like love it. And have noticed a huge influx of snow crab on Chinese TikTok
Would it help to fish other permits while the stocks rebound?
I think it warming waters and they have moved to colder waters. Crabs like cold water.
That’s what I talk about in the original video
Perhaps those crabs caught Covid STD & quarantine themselves.
Covid is probably a climate change result too for these people.
Funny thing about conspiracy theories is sometimes the "crazy" people are right
I am actually happy that you said we can do something about climate change, but actually stated what matters which is voting the right people in to effect change and holding large companies accountable. The big corps put the burden on the people to "change their habits" because a systemic change costs them too much money without the public on board buying their new eco friendly products. On an individual level of being able to affect climate change by recycling, being vegan, etc...those are all completely ineffective, but we can however enact laws that limits production emissions / mining etc. that actually has a demonstrable impact.
I agree that the bigger corporations are what need to change. But I do think large numbers of individuals can make an impact, especially like you said, when it comes to voting and pressuring companies!
@@KPassionate yea the most recent estimates I saw of an individual impact of a 25 year old... if a person was to bike or walk to work instead of drive for the rest of their life, recycle, and plant a tree every day, would be the equivalent of about 3 minutes of emissions from a poorly regulated factory. It's insane how much systemic change can help versus individual.
Good job..
Lol you’re dealing with people who think the earth is 5k years old and you think they’ll listen to NASA?!?!
Hahaha luckily not all people
I had a question that a wildlife behavior expert might be able to answer: are there any animals that feel emotions that we cannot?
I know that emotions evolved, and that many animals don't feel all the ones we do. I'm told that dogs don't feel shame. Shame evolved among social primates, and dogs that look ashamed are being anthropomorphised while feeling fear of punishment.
I also know that the evolution of emotions isn't just a single evolutionary line. Wikipedia says filial emotions like motherly love evolved among early mammals, but I can't imagine birds don't feel them. It just evolved seperately.
So, are there any emotions some animal out there can feel, but we don't?
What a cool question! Unfortunately unknowable but still very interesting to speculate. I don’t have any problem believing there would have to be emotions that certain animals feel regularly that humans do not. Like you said, evolution is not linear, so we all evolved exactly what we need to survive. I believe it’s possible and even plausible that they have some that we have no concept of. Thanks for this question!
They followed the King crabs to Norway.
Hello Can we get your expert insight on Grape-kun penguin from Japan 🙏
Fun fact "conspiracy theory" doesnt mean its a lie. Conspiracy is an act done in secret, theory, is a suggested probability based on evidence or lack of evidence to assume possibilities. So, the fact we keep using the term to minimize and dismiss these as options needs to stop. They are formed by people giving topic to research instead of just throwing hands in the air with no answers. Lets be better than calling this term a lie.
Exactly. The same goes for someone standing on a pedestal while yelling out ideas. Just because they are yelling doesn’t mean it’s the truth. Just because people have real questions and answers doesn’t make them wacko.
On an unrelated topic, Chlamydia has been found in the arctic oceans. The crab disappearances just might be a blessing in disguise. Only something in massive quantity could unleash that kind of unwanted gift. There's a May 2020 article that discusses this scientific discovery.
I find it kinda odd that you as a marine biologists didn’t know about the over fishing from those countries, do you know about the other fishing /catching of sharks happening
Marine biologists don’t know everything about the ocean. For instance, i know basically nothing about eels but wayyyy too much about marine mammal reproduction lol. I am a very specialized marine mammologist and marine mammal behavior expert. But I do learn more every day through the research for these videos.
You do know every profession has sub specialties right. Not all dr's know everything from babies to cancer and everything in between. Dr's pick specialties to go into same with most professional careers such as marine biology. Wow you're bright.
@@KPassionate No, you push the Leftist propaganda.
They moved. Could be record amount next year.
Your first problem is trusting anything the government says. Your second problem, As a self described specialized marine mammalogist, why do you feel qualified to comment on an invertebrate arthropod? Your third problem is failure to appreciate the grand solar minimum we have entered. Your fourth problem is you fail to consider the impact of follow the money and how it drives the agenda to blame ACC as the primary culprit. Your fifth problem is siteing left wing propaganda as legitimate information. Lastly, you fail to consider that "scientific consensus" is almost always wrong. If you understood science you would realize that 95% of what was once scientific consensus has been shown to be hogwash. Science is NEVER settled. I site the four humors, heliocentric universe, flat earth, earth centric, expanding earth theories as just a few examples.
How about the fact she basis her first thoughts of a subject off racism and bigotry .

Truth does not require CENSORSHIP - conspiracies do.
I don't censor comments. Sometimes YT holds comments for review if they either have links, profanity, or are potentially offensive. I approve those that I see. Other times YT flags comments as spam if the commenter posts multiple comments in a short period of time. There is also a known bug where people's comments randomly disappear.
@@KPassionate thank you. The owners of UA-cam are anti-free speech.
Free speech means the government can't censor you. Private companies like UA-cam absolutely have the right to moderate content that appears on their website. The same is true for content creators.
I’m not sure about the crab, but chineses fishing fleet is everywhere, including the fringes of Galapagos island and Peru.
Having an inquiring mind gets one labeled a conspiracy theorist? Is that a bad thing? It's actually a necessary skill for many professions.
Ocean temperature killed off the food supply and they starved.
This has happened in the past . Think of the caribou porcupine herd, They populated to over a million then depleted their food source then crash to about 400,000. Another scenario could be the introduction of Starlink with global EMF crashing their population.
With 11 billion of crabs it would make sense that they starved due to not enough food on sea floor? There should be regular fishing so over fishing leads to less biomass falling to the floor.
The quickly shifting poles is the cause. Our northern pole has moved in five years what scientists thought would take hundreds of years. Crabs aren’t the only ones effected, salmon aren’t swimming up river, migratory birds are seen wildly off course, whales are beaching themselves. All migratory animals use the earths magnetosphere to navigate. Your crabs have most likely walked off the shelf or moved further Northeast. It’s not climate change we are living in the most stable climate in 250,000 years. Crabs are virtually unchanged for millions of years. They experienced the mysterious end to the last ice age that saw two mile ice shelf melted in 2,000 years.
It's climate change. Evidence is clear. Thanks for watching though
@@KPassionate when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail
The rabbit hole digs down to oil.
I knew it was aliens! 👽👾👽👾👽
Maybe I missed it, but if there was a record population of snow crab in 2018, how much did the waters of the Bering Sea rise in the last four years? Second, because we are talking about a sea change (lit & fig) in temperature, we would expect any mobile lifeforms to simply migrate northward. What is the relative temperature of the waters north of the Bering Strait? What are the associated depths of crab populations, what is the depth of the strait? Would crabs be able to migrate through or largely die in the Bering Sea? Even according to the data you present in this video, the population of crab appears to "yo-yo" quite a bit, which implies there are very strong factors that affect the population still not understood by scientists. While climate change is real and will ultimately deprive the Bering Sea of snow crab, this should be a gradual process unless there is a critical temperature that would suddenly kill them off, which seems to me (if it exists) likely not yet approached if the range of snow crab also includes the South China Sea and the Northwest Pacific coast.
Climate is always changing everyone believes something different live your life the best that you can that’s all you can do.
Man-made climate change is not for anyone to believe or not. It isn’t Santa Claus. The science is clear. You either understand it or you don’t
@@KPassionate Yes you have proven that ignorance has its own rewards.
@@KPassionate Do you believe in God, sister ?
Ice core samples show that the earth cools and heats up back and forth every so many hundreds or thousands of years, but with production that humans have spread it up a little faster than normal
I figure they just marched to different feeding grounds
No, the reason the snow crab disappeared has been confirmed. It was starvation and other factors linked to the 2018-2019 marine heatwave. As the water temperature rose so did the crabs' metabolism, meaning they needed to eat more food. But they primarily feed on sea ice algae. Less sea ice means less sea ice algae means less food.

Here we go let the games begin.
😈
No shortage at my grocery store ,
I wonder how much frozen stockpile the US has. Interesting question
Ok another thing.....oh no. Anyway, how do we know how many there are? Nobody is fishing which is where we get a lot of our data. Do we have underwater drones counting them??? Do satellites count them or is it just a computerized guess?
The Chinese militia had their fleet illegally fishing the gallapogos plus the fleet had gotten much better sneaking in to steal as much as possible before leaving at night to avoid getting too much attention.
We have to eat something different !
Is there evidence of mass death or mass migration to more comfortable seas ?
Rigorous studies have confirmed that a marine heat wave between 2018 and 2019 decimated their food source and the snow crab died of starvation as a result.
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/feature-story/research-confirms-link-between-snow-crab-decline-and-marine-heatwave
Im sure human greed, and our disdain for our planet had some part in this
What did one what did the elephant say to the woolly mammoth? “ Stop farting bro, human driven glacier retreat climate change.”
Maybe you should look into to the huge direct correlation of our sun's solar flare and cme activity and volcanic and earthquakes. As well as ozone fluctuations. Get caught up!
Who is We ? (Mouse in pocket?)
Dang I've heard of some uncool practices that other countries are practicing. Like China/Russia and over fishing and whaling. It's gotta be hard to patrol that many people and Oceans. Not cool guy's if true.
Fukushima
No. As I discussed in the video, the Food and Drug Administration tested both FDA-regulated food products imported from Japan and domestic food products in 2014, including U.S. seafood, and found no evidence of radionuclides from the Fukushima incident.

The crabs just got smart realized alot of there friends are disappearing because these traps so they packed there little bags and moved elsewhere.
Crabs evolved problem solving hahaha. Love it
The climate has always changed. For 400k years, the glacial and inter-glacial ice and temperatures have gone up and down like a EKG consistently. We are almost at peak warm today. Temperatures will fall again just like they always have. So.... if we are peaking high temperatures now, what caused those same peaks over the last 400k years? It wasn't man made back then.
It's not that the world hasn't changed. It's the RATE at which it is changing. Yes, global temperatures rose at the end of the last ice age by about 3 degrees over around 5,000 years. Over the last 100 years the world has warmed 2 degrees. This rate is rising. Since 1982, the rate of warming has increased by more than three times as fast per decade.

[3] www.climate.gov/news-features/climate-qa/hasnt-earth-warmed-and-cooled-naturally-throughout-history
We also know WHY the earth warmed during the end of the last ice age and it was because of changes in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations - CO2 in particular. "Observations throughout the world make it clear that climate change is occurring, and rigorous scientific research demonstrates that the greenhouse gases emitted by human activities are the primary driver." That is the joint statement from NASA and 18 other scientific associations including the American Geophysical Union, American Medical Association, American Meteorological Society, and several others as well as 200 international scientific academies.
[4] climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/
This is the scientific consensus and has been for years.
10,000 years ago in the area I live, the ice was a mile deep, what caused the ice to melt? I suspect that solar cycles are a much greater factor than ‘man made’ climate change.

Underwater subs stealing the crabs so ships do not show up.
Hot take 😂
True, but plausible large population for China, and they want crabs. But honestly, the snow crab might have migrated under ice. I feel sad how our oceans and world are warming.
Aliens ??---really??
Yes, there were a shocking number of comments on my original video claiming aliens stole the snow crabs. I'd like to believe they were joking, but unfortunately, they seemed very serious.
NO CLIMAT CRISIS TOM HARRIS
Theory two isn't a "conspiracy". My dad was a Native Commercial Fisher. They, foreign vessels, would literally catch huge catches, metric tons more than ours.. Foreign vessels sitting on our line, raping the oceans, with no limits. Witnessed by my family and friends, for generations. Not conspiracy LOL. But heaven forbid we say anything Geo politically, it's just easier to blame our fishing fleets and local fishing vessels. If we drift across the line, international or Fish and Game zones, all our gear is seized and absorbent fines. There was sh00t outs, with foreign vessels, harpoonings by foreign vessels on ours. It truely is the lawlessness of the high seas out there, don't fool yourselves. They just don't want to call an ace an ace, and a spade a spade. Heaven forbid in our PC woke world.
Great video but to the person who edited it. Relax with the sound effects
Thanks!
When she played the race card for crabs,I could not listen to this
Conspiracy theories are not scientific, they are feelings communicated using a scientific sounding vocabulary. Answering them with data and fact gives them legitimacy while making the conspiracy theory supports “feel shamed” leading to entrenchment in their position despite overwhelming scientific evidence. A better (and far more difficult) approaches to is to provide evidence debunking the conspiracy in way that is fun and entertaining leaving the conspiracy theorist “feeling happier” with your explanation of a science based theory. If they feel your theory explains what they see better, you will change minds. Great channel and I love learning from you.
Thanks! I am of the opinion that nothing can really change their minds once they have decided to not believe objective facts. But we can always try!
I'm going with the aliens took them to another planet to populate the oceans.........
cause they're good eat'n.

Hahaha love it!
Really? Science is supposed to be challenged. While i have no doubt humans have some input. There is a massive fusion reactor in the sky that has a huge input on our climate. When the hockey stick model made popular by Gore and looks crazy bad is stretched out using data from ice cores it is almost impossible to see it. Everything that is not fully understood ( man made climate change being one) it need to be questioned. All the models say if X co2 causes 1 deg increase then 2x causes 2deg. But its looking like i will take 4x to get to 2 deg.
If 11 billion crabs had died you'd smell it. The decomposition gasses have to go somewhere and that somewhere is up. If you had a dead biomass of that size you'd know it when you pass over it. When there was a dead fish under the dock where I kept my boat, 1 single dead fish, 3 feet down would create an unimaginable stink. I used to scoop the thing up and deposit it far away from the boats.
I agree. Also, I’d like to know what is used to determine that the crabs are gone. Even on the show “Deadliest Catch” the crab boats have trouble finding them. It doesn’t require a genius to observe that.
Where is the certainty of human driven climate change when the planet's climate has had cataclysmic change cycles evident in the geologic record since the planet was formed? I don't doubt that our misguided activities have influenced the rate of changes, but pole shifts and massive climate changes are very real and natural occurances.
The evidence is clear. Man-made climate change is not like Santa Clause, for you to believe or not believe. You either understand it or you don't.
If I was taking a wild guess it would be crabs just like every other animal is motivated by it’s stomach. No food no crabs maybe they’re in Russian waters who knows.??? Hard saying not knowing I’ll bet next year will tell the story a little better.
I agree. The more info we get the better we will understand the issue.
Microsoft data servers are warming the ocean.
I agree man has added to the climate change problem. But man is the only factor in climate change. The climate of the earth before the ice age was completely different than what it is today. The majority of the dinosaur fossils in the USA are from the Dakota's and Montana regions of our continent. Those areas were much more arid and warmer than today's environment. The planet is just going back to what it normally was before the comet hit the Yucatan Peninsula. We may be adding to the problem, but when a volcano erupts it places more debris, chemicals, and gases into the atmosphere than all of what mankind has done. Should we give up? Certainly not, This is our home we need to preserve it as much as we can. I love your commentaries. Craig SWVA.
Uhhh… the Chicxulub Impact was _65 _*_million_*_ years ago._ That's more than enough time for the Earth to have recovered.
Having done a doctorate in climate physics, I want to tell you that "normal" timescales for changes in climate are on the order of 1,000-10,000 years. A change that takes 100 years to occur is considered *instantaneous.*
Humans are making changes that are happening in mere decades.
Think about it, Craig: what were winters like when you were a kid? I'm 53, and grew up on Long Island, NY. When I was a child, rain showers would change over to snow showers around this time of year. At first, they'd melt upon hitting the ground. Then they'd stick around. And snow would slowly build up over the winter. We'd get a Nor'Easter … which cause blizzards here in the Northeast … maybe _once every 1-3 years._ Oh, and speaking of rain-showers? We would get maybe a couple of days of rain, followed by a few days of sun, before the next couple of days of rain. This was, as I said, on Long Island. I now live 65 miles north of NYC, which, when I was a kid, was always about 5° colder than Long Island.
Now? Now we get no snow for months on end, only to get all of our snow in 3 storms, which dump 1-2 feet of snow all at once. Those are all Nor'Easters - those storms that would hit _once_ every _couple of years_ are now happening multiple times every year. We also don't get gentle rain showers interspersed with sunny days, we get weeks of nothing followed by massive thunderstorms dumping - once again - all of our precipitation all at once.
Oh, also? It's no longer 5° cooler up here.
These changes happened in under 50 years. That's not normal. And that's faster-than-instantaneous, as far a climate physics is concerned.
As for your statement that volcanoes put more chemicals and gasses into the atmosphere than what mankind has done:
1. Hydrofluorocarbons and Chlorofluorocarbons don't occur in nature. They only come from humans. But, there were people in the 1980s claiming that the HFCs and CFCs in the atmosphere were somehow magically due to volcanos.
2. Where did all of that oil and gas we've burned go? Where did all of the coal we burned in the 19th Century go? It didn't just vanish, y'know. Conservation of mass-energy requires it to be _someplace._ Well, during the first season of the new "Cosmos" with Neil deGrasse Tyson, they put up two numbers: the mass of the CO2 added to the atmosphere in the 20th Century, and the mass of the petroleum & coal burned in the 20th Century. While not identical, the numbers were of the same order-of-magnitude.
It's not from volcanoes. It's from what we humans have burned.
The last time volcanoes belched out enough CO2 to double the amount in the atmosphere was during the formation of the Siberian Traps. Which occurred around the same time as the Permian-Triassic Extinction. The Extinction known as The Great Dying, because it killed off most of the life on earth.
Using volcanoes as an excuse is just an attempt to pretend that we humans can keep on using the atmosphere as our toilet. Well, we can't. Climate change isn't something that's "going to happen," _it's already _*_here._*
@@John_Weiss I was not trying to dump the present climate change onto volcanic eruption alone. I was (feebly) trying to say there are many factors that cause climate change. And I default to your background (mine being Mechanical engineering) but your statement of " "normal" timescales for changes in climate are on the order of 1,000-10,000 years. A change that takes 100 years to occur is considered instantaneous." which is somewhat correct does not bring into fact, that after the "Ice Age' the polar ice caps have not started to retract as fast as they have done recently. Once the process had begun it feeds on itself and decays geometrically. It has taken millions of years for this change to start to feed on itself. And there is no driving factor to reverse itself to a cooler climate unless there is an external source, Ie: meteor impact, axial shift, or atomic winter. I too grew up in the Northeast (NJ), and you are right our winters are much calmer than they were in the 50's and 60's. But I married a Lake George girl, and I remember waking up in the morning (winter) and it was -30*f, and the height of the day was +15*f. Was up there just before Covid hit and it was just as cold. Like my weather down here at Smith Mountain Lake (SWVA) where these old bones can survive the winter. John, liked our little chat. Really like the He/Him tag. And if another asteroid has to hit the earth to bring our temperatures down, I pray it happens after I am gone. Take care young man, Craig
Fukashima?
No.
@@KPassionate maybe. The current flow up to there from Japan right?
In 2014, the Food and Drug Administration tested both FDA-regulated food products imported from Japan and domestic food products, including U.S. seafood, and found no evidence of radionuclides from the Fukushima incident.

Also, we know why the snow crab disappeared. Starvation and other factors linked to the 2018-2019 marine heatwave. As the water temperature rose so did their metabolism, meaning they needed to eat more food. But they primarily feed on sea ice algae. Less sea ice means less sea ice algae means less food.

Right co2 . Look up at that ball of fire in the sky. That's what drives climate.
No
Yes. Way more to the sun than TSI
@@KPassionate Yes
All you need to do is if you want to know the right. Temparetra
Norway forde complaining about it
What if the crabs didn't actually disappear? What if they just migrated farther out in mass to find more more food? It might be that the record population depleted the Bering Sea of enough food sources to support 12 billion crabs.
You are so amazingly beautiful 😍 can't stop watching
