Algae killing birds, sealife in California
AP reports here at Yahoo News: LOS ANGELES - A bloom of ocean algae that produces a toxic acid has sickened and killed hundreds of birds, sea lions and dolphins in California, environmentalists said. The algae population increases or “blooms” every year as the ocean waters warm but this year’s bloom seems early, extensive and “very, very thick. Humans can’t be harmed by swimming in algae blooms but consuming fish and shellfish tainted with the acid can cause nausea, seizures and even death.
Ya know, its just God’s way of evening out the species…been going on since beginning of time. Check the stats,
People get a grip …it’s bigger than you. Not much you can do against mother nature when she’s controlling. But driving more fuel efficient cars may help; Operative word MAY~
This is not an unusual event, though in the last few years of record keeping it may be an anomily. Seems it is is being sensationalised. The phrase “seems early, extensive and very, very thick seems to be made by someone with limited history. It reminds me of my wife going in to get her tire rotated and someone saying all four of your tires are about to explode…and you should consider purchasing new ones today.
