Climate Crusaders Take A Novel Approach To Their Newest Anti-Oil Lawsuit

https://climatechangedispatch.com/climate-lawsuits-fishing-groups/

For all of you followers of the legal persecution of the oil industry in the battle to de-industrialize the Western World here is another battle - the crab fishermen. It seems that red tide (Domoic Acid) which comes from a species of red algae that "blooms" in summer months when the weather and the oceans are warmer. It is such a constant cycle that everyone who eats shellfish knows you should only eat fresh shellfish if there is an "R" in the month. For those wondering what this means, if the month has an "R" the water is colder and the risk of Red Tide (Domoic acid poisoning) has passed.

Something that the fishermen should be suing about is the amount of raw sewage that is dumped into the oceans by the cities. Victoria dumps 130 million liters per day into the Strait of Juan De Fuca,

that is 47.4 BILLION litres per year. So when you think about what you are getting from the fishermen, ignoring the contamination on the west coast by Fukushima, just be glad they filter the tampons and lumps out of the sewage.

Enjoy your crabs.
