The Pacific’s Salmon Are Back — Thank Human Ingenuity

[Locutus]

via sda:

Remember the guy that dumped a whole bunch of iron (iron sulfate actually) into the Pacific Ocean a couple of years ago to stimulate a phytoplankton bloom that would help provide food for salmon. The environmentalists were horrified saying that's crazy, it will never work, he shouldn't be doing experiments in the ocean, etc. Well, guess what, it worked better than expected, which I'll bet will upset the environmentalists even more.

This year, the number of salmon caught in the northeast Pacific more than quadrupled, going from 50 million to 226 million. In the Fraser River, which only once before in history had a salmon run greater than 25 million fish (about 45 million in 2010), the number of salmon increased to 72 million.

Let no good deed go unpunished. How is the left supposed to control our lives if we are allowed to be independent?

There is so much idiotic bull, lies and falsehoods in that article it's not even funny-however in that regard it suits the simpletons who read the National Review many of whom post their gibberings here.


The Haida deep sixed that idiot last year and his crackpot ideas had nothing to do with Pink Salmon returns-not that the fools here would know a Pink Salmon from a ferris wheel.

That's all well and fine but don't they look a tad different now that Japanese radiation is also part of the mix.
