If crabs are the reason america turns towards a new climate policy I wouldn't be shocked.

Meanwhile in Zanzibar..

Zanzibar's government is investigating why thousands of dead swimming crabs have washed up on the beaches of the Tanzanian islands.

Since 28 September, there have been reports of the dead crabs washing ashore at Mtoni, Mizingani and Forodhani public beaches.

The government is urging people not to worry it might be caused by pollution.

Reports indicate climate change leading to an abrupt change in the temperature of the sea might be to blame.

"Some living things like the swimming crabs cannot resist sudden changes in the sea, and they die and wash ashore," Dr Salum Soud, a marine biologist and Zanzibar's director of development and fisheries, told the BBC.

"Ocean waters have layers of temperatures and so the waves force water underneath to go up, thus may cause low oxygen hence the crabs are likely to face death," he added.

Maryland is about to seal its borders if this continues.

How much of that is due to the western hemisphere outsourcing production to China?

The same guy posted an article like two replies down that that's not really the case.

It doesn't really surprise me about China. The amount of pollution they spit out every year is unreal. There is virtually no oversight by the government either. It's like late 19th century industrial revolution there. Seriously.

62% coal on the grid will do that

Remember when Illinois "bailed out" their nuclear plants?

Turns out its a good thing to have extremely stable electricity generation when natural gas prices spike.

California would KILL for a 4.9c/kwh baseload contract.

My house uses propane for heat and stove. Last year our heating bill was about $150. Anyone got an educated guess on what I’m going to be running this winter?

[Outlaw]

Idk.. but how many propane accessories do you have?


Sorry Couldn't resist.

Wasn't sure if this better fit in the Idiots thread or here, so I'll go with here since it is climate related.

A bunch of climate protesters glued themselves to the floor in a Volkswagon factory. And the best part is that the company left them there.

Some tweets from a guy involved:
It begins.
42 hours glued to the floor later.

Of course you would be down with vandalizing classic art work for a meaningless political statement.

Vandalizing the glass in front of an artwork, yes

People keep forgetting this part, and for some reason no one ever makes an effort to make sure people realize that the art is still protected and safe.

Also makes their useless actions even weirder lol

I don't know, drawing attention to an issue while not actually damaging anything seems worthwhile to me.
