The pair restarted their work in Massachusetts with about 400 brook trout reared for up to eight months in tanks. The scientists kept some of the fish in waters set at 59 degrees Fahrenheit while others at 68 degrees Fahrenheit. All were fed the same diet.

By the end of the experiment, the difference was stark. The trout raised in warmer waters were on average less than half the size as the other fish.

    Mass Starvation and mass migration due to the climate change

    These are the two things that will severely affect every part of the globe in the next few decades. No one will care about why the animals are dying or getting smaller, or why storms are getting worse or why floods are happening … millions of people will be moving into places where other people already live and people won’t like that.

    And we’ll wonder why the world is degrading and why we are fighting one another.

      I agree, except that the majority of us will know full well why the world is degrading and we are fighting one another.

      The other day I read the history of the Somalian pirates. Basically corps from wealthy nations like China stole all their fish with bottom trawling, and after the initial failure of their state they had nobody to enforce the rules. They tried chasing off the illegal fishers themselves, but were declared pirates because of that. Then they went “if we are pirates anyway, we might as well”, and then we get to the part when the US went in to shoot up their capital and made a movie about it.

    Kbin thumbnail bug strikes again, this article has a thumbnail of that US dog killer politician pouting. Makes it look like she’s angry she can’t kill bigger fish.
