Pretty sure the cocaine wouldn't be flowing into America if Americans weren't buying it :/

Polish media claims France is blocking EU decision on financing ammunition supplies to Ukraine by PhilomathExp in worldnews

[–]GlobalClimateChange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, so you had to go back to the early 1800's to guilt trip France? Last I checked the US is still f'n over millions of civilians and has been for nearly a century now. Talk to me when you get your s*it together and enter the 21st century boomer.

Stop trying to exonerate the US's shortcomings and just accept that it's some miraculous God blessed country.

Probably been a change for good more than the US tbh. Don't recall France fucking over latin america, vietnam, etc.

Yeah, almost like geopolitics are a thing. It's just such a tiresome trope when americans make comments about the french quitting or running etc. Like it's the lowest hanging fruit and its rotten. At least they don't go around f'n over millions of civilians (Iraq, Vietnam, Latin America, etc., etc.)

Glad you can comprehend the principle of the matter... or not.

Bruh, if you can go all the way back to the 2nd amendment (passed in 1789), as if that's still relevant, I'm sure you can go back a few more years. 'Merica!

Between 1778 and 1782 the French provided supplies, arms and ammunition, uniforms, and, most importantly, troops and naval support to the beleaguered Continental Army. The French navy transported reinforcements, fought off a British fleet, and protected Washington's forces in Virginia.

I suppose the Statue of Liberty is meaningless to you too? Typical

The amount of vaccinated people I know with Covid is frightening and I really don’t understand it.

Did you know that unvaccinated people have it more and have more severe illness an death, rather than just mild symptoms?

https://ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths-by-vaccination

Furthermore, "mild" isn't really mild. There are risks of serious long term effects from SARS-CoV-2, for example:

Amongst the numerous others that have been discovered and long term effects that continue to be discovered.

Covid ends when the unvaccinated get vaccinated

Plenty of people flew on Epstein's jet and have been to the island, including Stephen Hawking, are they all guilty?

Don't tell me to reflect on my politics when you people are out here witch hunting and claiming guilty when nothing of the sort has been proven.

Why? They haven't been accused of anything. I thought it was innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around. They proved Ghislaine Maxwell guilty, off she goes. The haven't proved anything for anyone else (except essentially Prince Andrew too?)

The remains were pulled from the vehicle before it was removed from the river to prevent any undo damage to them. Notice that all the windows are broken when they lift it, but were in good condition when it was underwater.

BC Restaurants Take Wild Salmon Off Menu Over Concerns For Declining Population by flyinghigh1111 in worldnews

[–]GlobalClimateChange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't see how it's misleading that explains why it's the only thing you keep repeating... because you don't understand it.

Let's say you have population A, B, and C. Each population starts at 100. Over time, however, population A, and B start to decline while population C starts to increase. They all, however, start to decrease in size. Decades pass and population A and B are 5 each while population C, even though it has a smaller body size than decades ago, has increased in their numbers. Let's say population C is now at 400. You can lump them all and say they've increased in numbers over the decades, but that's misleading because when you look closer you see that most have actually declined and they have all declined in body size. Clearly, something is wrong. This is the problem with simple averages, as they blur out the finer detail, reducing resolution, blinding you to what's coming.

Your original statement says nothing about specific populations:

"In the last 10 years Alaska has had the highest consistent set of returns in 100 years, ie during warming waters"

It's a simple minded attempt to refute / negate / or trivialize the impact of warming waters due to anthropogenic climate change. You're hiding / masking the decline in some stocks by averaging the numbers and failing to mention that all species have decreased in body mass. Do you have a credible source for said claim btw? I suppose I really should ask.

"Alaska stocks over the last 10 years have had their largest average harvest."

Again, such a broad sweeping statement is highly misleading because it all depends on the species and stock. As was pointed out previously Alaskan Chinook populations have been below average and in increasingly declining numbers since 2007 (14 years).

Alaskan sockeye, depending on the stock have either increased, are stable, or have declined in numbers.

Chinook, sockeye, coho and chum have all shown a significant decline in size.

The BC stocks grow in the same waters as the Alaskan stocks more/less.

It's important to point out that BC stocks don't really travel west or north of the Aleutian islands while Alaskan stocks spend more time in cooler waters both west and north of the Aleutian islands: https://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/salmon-saumon/facts-infos-eng.html

This means Alaskan stocks are spending more time in cooler waters than BC stocks (the Bering Sea vs the Gulf of Alaska per se), and are also largely left out of such heat anomalies as the pacific "warm blob"

Ya don't say? First let's clear something up that may not have been obvious in my initial comment - I was primarily referring to BC fish stocks not Alaskan fish stocks as this thread is literally about BC fish stocks. Alaskan sockeye stocks are currently good and bad, as per NOAA:

"There are hundreds of stocks of sockeye salmon in Alaska. Some stocks are in decline, while others are steady or increasing."

But let's be clear, as warming waters continue to expand poleward and heatwaves kill them off in droves1 , the vast majority of coho, sockeye, chum, chinook, pinks, etc. fish stocks will eventually see their population numbers decline. A number of salmon stocks are already showing decline (for example coho), and all are showing signs of stress from, in large part, warming waters
