    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:

    [2] www.sciencedirect.com/science...
    [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.
    [1] www.epa.gov/radiation/frequen...
    [2] large.stanford.edu/courses/201...
    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.”
    [1] www.forbes.com/sites/jillgold...
    [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.”

    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.

      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.

      The White Sun is causing this high temperatures and changing currents.

      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.

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.

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 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?

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!

    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.

    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.

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._*

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

      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.

    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.
