Unlocking the Mysteries of Red Tide

I thought this was an interesting article on Red Tides, and timely, since we have been encountering them lately.

Quoted from Article previously posted:

Experts said that not all aspects of red tide are negative. Certain species of algae can explode into a blue spark of bioluminescence, often seen at night when waves are crashing, Burhans said. Some red tide can keep away certain unwanted, predatory fish. End quote.

That is just sad. This stuff is decimating so much but it is okay because it has an up-side... it makes pretty blue sparks

Red tide is frequent here and what it leaves behind is nothing good.:sad: Hopefully with Global Warming and the like coming into the mainstream people will finallylisten. And with that perhaps a few less golfers

What's the problem with the golfers?

What's the problem with the golfers?

Extra nitrogen and phosphorous from fertilizer in the runoff from golf courses tends to promote algae growth, as do any other sort of nutrient laden runoff such as sewage treatment plant discharges.

So we need to get rid of all people, not just golfers.

Global warming is a myth. What ended the ice age and melted all the ice at that time? Were the dinosaurs driving around in big dino SUV's, and was there a DGA (Dino Golf Association)?

The earth goes thru its natural cycles of cooling and warming. April was one of the coolest Aprils in years, how can that be? Last summer was one of the warmest since the 1950's, does that mean it was worse once before?

Al Gore isn't a GOD.

No. I should have covered all of it, my bad for just pointing out one big problem. :sad:
