unyon: 7zark7: Here's an idea. How about not killing all the animals that eat jellyfish. I'm talking to you, Japan.

If the Japanese made jellyfish sushi a delicacy, they could also be the solution to the problem.

People do eat jellyfish all the time already. Perhaps Americans should try it.

Or; we could tell them that it makes their peni bigger.

/ jellyfish; make your peni bigger, ancient western secret

// or make them an aphrodisiac; jellyfish, better then rhino horn

I've had jellyfish. It was ok. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat it again, but if it were cheap enough, or mixed into some dish, I'd be willing to eat it again.

Does anyone else wonder what the post-Fukushima jellyfish are going to look like?

"I could pee on them," he suggested. I declined.

Clearly, this was a mere misunderstanding. Perhaps urinating on the jellyfish themselves is truly the only way to clear this infestation. No, don't correct me now; it's too late, my associates are preparing the trans-oceanic urine dispersement cannons as I type this.

Yeah; Nobody knows (new window).

So, while UK farkers pay a licensing fee on televisions, they can't access a BBC site that doesn't dip into those funds. Meanwhile, everyone else who doesn't pay any fee can access said BBC site, and the UK-specific site.

Will take care of the jellyfish.

They make very attractive hats.

I don't like jellyfish,
They're not a fish, just a blob,

They don't have eyes, fins or scales,
Like a cod,

They float about blind stinking people in the seas,
And no one eats jellyfish with chips and mushy peas,

Get rid of them. - Karl Pilkington.

I often had jellyfish salad while I was in Beijing. I rather liked it.

Whales eat jellyfish?

And Japan isn't anything like all of the whaling.

Didn't check the link, but I'm guessing: Too much hot water?

A NatGeo special I saw a while back linked jellyfish blooms to oceanic warming. Juvenile jellyfish are an important part of the zooplankton, but what makes them really thrive and "bloom", according to this special, is warm water. (That's why those deadly killer jellyfish hang out in Australia) More warm water = more jellyfish. It apparently has very little to do with anything that preys on jellyfish: The jellyfish only reproduce like this when the water is warm enough.

But it's got nothing to do with global warming, of course.

So this means we'll end up in a future like this?:

Those warming oceans. Must certainly be it.

Prepare to panic...



Or in terms of temperature change:



Of course Argo previously was showing a (statistically insignificant) cooling trend. But then the data was 'adjusted' by means undocumented (raw data is not available) and now it successfully fits our preconceptions.

Nevertheless, the fact that it's not AS hot as the predictions predicted doesn't negate the fact that by your very own chart, the ocean is still measurably (quantitatively if you will) warmer than it was two years ago. Nor does it negate the fact that jellyfish spawn according to the temperature gradient of the ocean: Warmer oceans mean more jellyfish.

NOR does the fact that it's not as warm as predicted negate the fact that, by your very own charts, the oceans have generally been getting LESS cool during the cooling trends and MORE warm during the warming trends, leading to a net increase in warming. I know that sort of throws a wrench in your anti-global-warming theories, since your idea is that if it doesn't meet the predictions it means global warming never existed and in fact we're on course to the next ice age; but your very own charts don't support that.

We farked up the balance of nature? My god, I never saw this coming.

'The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of the black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction have hitherto harmed us little; but someday the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.'
