Oh noes! Fishy modeling study says 'Fish and Chips' to disappear in the UK

Makes you wonder how these fish managed to evolve at all given there have been much bigger temperature changes in the past , I wonder could it be they ‘SWAM’ to where conditions where better for them ?
Meanwhile model BS all the way through and of course the authors can look forward to further grants having show their ‘faith in the cause’ and never mind reality . CAGW has been a real kick in the groin for the future science and sadly those doing the kicking are often scientists like these authors who do know better but do not given a dam.

There are far more curry restaurants now than chippies in the whole of the UK.
If there is a shortage of fish it is almost certainly a result of over fishing, not some silly, nebulous claim of climate change.
I do love a good grease soaked paper full of deep fried cod and some chips sprinkled with malt vinegar, but only once a month or so. The grease is just so over the top, even when the fish is correctly fried in really hot oil.

They predicted the end of chocolate and coffee and now fish & chips shops. What’s next? Beer?

I used to fish commercially. It’s amazing what I hear from the know it alls on pelagic fish stocks. Most of these people couldn’t spend more than a few hours out at rough seas without having some sort of emotional break down or puking their brains out. Fish migrations and behavior rely on a few things that nothing to do with this issue even if the oceans warm a micro bit locally. Sun angle for one plays more of a role for some species that the majority of recreational anglers to this day believe move solely on water temps.

Instead of ‘Friday Funny’ I think this story should be categorised ‘Tuesday Fishy’.
I hope the researchers have declared their ‘Big Cod’ funding?
Global warming is one thing but you Yanks have gone too far now with your ‘Fish n Chip’ Denial. : (

What about bangers and mash, bubble and squeak, and toad-in-the-hole? Will Climate Change eliminate them too?

don’t read this unless you need a headache (or then the cure) –
from the fine print just above Anthony’s yellow highlight

Capacity to tolerate warming will thus depend on scope for thermal acclimation and adaptation with the degree of connectivity between thermally adapted sub-populations across the geographic range of species influencing the rate of adaptation to future warming.

tortured AI English – I’ve had similar computer generated suspicions for other ramblings – have to do something with the supercomputer modeling downtime so why couldn’t it plug itself?

I think the real caveat is in “if populations fail to adapt”.
Because it so much looks like everybody forgot evolution exists and among others all of our domesticated animals are result of it, many of them changing right before our eyes.

Big Ben will disappear from Westminster Palace before ‘global warming’ will eliminate fish ‘n chips in Great Britain!

Aren’t they building a whole bunch of windmills in the seas off the coast of England? I suspect the fish are being electrocuted by the submerged power lines from these wind generators. I also suspect that the flying fish (which provide needed air cover and air superiority for the cods, and haddocks, and whatnots) are being sliced and diced to smithereens by the blades of those windmills. Furthermore, I suspect the windmills are blowing the fish and the fish fleets off course, but of course, on different courses that are off course, of course.

Well fish and chips were destined to become a thing of the past, once the NONEWS on dead tree industry died out.
You’ve got to have paper with ink on it to wrap fish and chips in, so once the nonews is all digital, there will be nothing to wrap fish and chips in.

I think the writer means “anonymous”, rather than “eponymous”, in the original piece. Nobody mangles English like the English.

They (as supporter of the political agenda) don’t care about the truth or informing of the complete story/science. It is about the media influencing the weak-minded. Whomever gets the lie out first, wins.

I imagine this paper was also impeccably peer reviewed. Perhaps by a council made up of Gypsy fortune tellers and tabloid psychics. I have no idea how science branched from predicting rain a few days out into predicting how much fish you get with your chips in London by the year 2070.
Maybe it’s the computers. Computer entertainment is an opiate for the masses and computer models an opiate for scientists. Opiates dull your mind and make it difficult to make progress in any field, but they sure make you feel good about it.
Which calls for another entry into the list of psychiatric disorders: Obsessed-Model-Deluisionism.

If you folks want to see some real control freakery, come here where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean.
The control freaks here fantasize that they manage the various salmon populations, and wield ever-more arbitrary power as they micro-manage fishing, from commercial to recreation, at such excruciatingly absurd levels that your jaw would drop to the ground if you could get your mind around the mindlessness.
The control freaks also pretend to manage the California sea lion population, whose numbers have exploded here.
See: Boom times on the Columbia for California sea lions
http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/environment/boom-times-on-the-columbia-for-california-sea-lions/
But now the vast army of sea lions is devouring all of the precious salmon, so the control freaks are “forced” to “euthanize” (read: murder) sea lions.
Now, sea lions are protected marine mammals, so if you or I so much as get too close to one, we get fined and/or go to prison. But it’s okay for the Chosenites to decide who lives and who dies (when they are not busy torturing the poor creatures by trapping and branding them).
I adore sea lions. They are such an integral part of my surfing experience, as I usually surf completely alone, and have these 500 to 1000 lb creatures hanging out with me, sometimes little more than an arm’s length away. They are absolutely magnificent beings.
I wonder how the control freaks would like it if I put together a posse using other peoples’ money to round them up, trap them, brand them, glue radio transponders to their heads, clip their ears, pull some teeth, and perhaps ‘euthanize’ a few, depending on how I felt about, say, the color blue that day?

The lack of historical awareness in the clim-sci establishment never ceases to amaze me. Fish distribution has always shifted, often abruptly, due to oceangraphic changes.
In Scandinavian history “Herring Periods” when the herring suddenly became abundant in coastal waters, causing general prosperity, have been a well-known phenomenon since the Middle Ages. They are well documented since the 16th Century:
1556-1589
1660-1680
1747-1809
1877-1906

strange this as a beach fisherman (hobby) the uk has had a very good yr for codling small but in good amounts .it was more to do with over fishing ..the rest of the eu catch and eat young cod and any other fish they get there hands on so stocks have no way of bouncing back ..but I can see it getting better with the new rules in place and being inforced
