“Climate Change” Blamed For Large Numbers of Salmon Dying

September 24, 2019 (Tokyo, Japan) - We are not so inclined to easily accept the cause of death for thousands of salmon dying in Alaska heat and “climate change.” In thousands of years that haven’t been recorded, have salmon died off in large numbers for reasons not yet clearly understood? That possibility seems highly likely. In this age of political correctness, it seems almost anything can be blamed on “climate change.” What if these thousands of salmon were poisoned by large amounts of glyphosate in the water triggered by warmer water? Would that be a sufficient reason? It’s always the “experts” but who exactly are the experts and were is sufficient evidence?

Unprecedented heatwave 'kills thousands of fish' in Alaska

‘We’re seeing not just stressful temperatures for salmon, but lethal temperatures,’ experts say

Climate change and warming rivers may have caused the mass death of salmon in parts of Alaska, scientists say.

Large numbers of salmon died prematurely in some Alaskan rivers in July according to local reports, and scientists believe the cause could be the unprecedented heatwave that gripped the state last month.

“Climate change is here in Alaska. We are seeing it. We are feeling it. And our salmon are dying because of it,” said Stephanie Quinn-Davidson, a biologist specialising in salmon and the director of the Yukon Inter-Tribal Fish Commission, in a Facebook post.

The post documented field research that Ms Quinn-Davidson and other scientists undertook in late July to investigate local reports of salmon die-offs. They travelled to Alaska’s Koyonuk River, a major tributary of the Yukon River, and counted at least 850 dead chum salmon along a 200-mile river stretch. But she said that the figures could be four to ten times bigger just in that stretch of the river, which is 500 miles long.

“We also know that dead salmon were observed on the Andreafsky River that flows in the Yukon River,” she said. “So it's very likely the numbers are in the thousands, and quite possibly in the tens of thousands.

“And this is just the Yukon River. Salmon die-offs have been reported on the Kuskokwim River and Bristol Bay.”

In a video documenting the trip that shows flies swarming over the decaying fish, she described how “dead salmon washed up, just piles of them”.
