2021 heat dome's devastating effect on marine life | FOX 13 Seattle

As extreme heat grips the Pacific Northwest, it’s hard to forget the record-setting heat dome that struck the region on this same week one year ago.

Extension death in the Peter Sound is Unforgettable but the sense of s*** in our cities is so wonderful thank you James Lee you're such a hero

In a normal world there'd be trees growing on beaches and downed trees in the wash for shade. Here it's all sun and a lack of normal ecosystem. It's too much ground heat radiating and not enough deep spots for habitat. It looks like huge swaths of sand have been deposited in the surf zone. It needs to be removed a good twenty feet to be restored.

I guess my beaches weren't affected to the level they claim.I went out this spring and had no problem getting my limits of clams and oysters. I found lots more clams than in past years, too.Maybe the other diggers gave up on the news that the sky was falling.

Our ecosystems are going to collapse. We aren't going to be able to produce enough food. When people are hungry you will see insanity that you never thought possible.

My beaches were not affected as well. Harvesting clams was a great weekend!

Down slope wind.
Also called Katabatic wind.
Antarctica has the strongest and most widespread of all Katabatic winds that cover most of the continent.
The average elevation of Antarctica is 8000 feet.
Wind howls across Antarctica at speeds of 100 MPH to 120 MPH.
When reaches the coastal region, it begins blowing down slope and reaches speeds of 170 MPH to 200 MPH.
This also increases atmospheric pressure, creating high barometric pressure in large regions of the coast.
Its the same as the Santa Ana wind in California.
High atmospheric pressure creates these meteorological events.
Its typical for California but, unusual for western Washington.
It has been documented occurring before in western Washington.
It has nothing to do with carbon dioxide, and everything to do with decadal climatic iscillations like El nino and La nina.
It is a meteorological change in stratospheric wind brought from the hotter and drier eastern region of western Washington.
Its not uncommon on Earth.
Everything about the climate change scam can be explained by a book on meteorology or atmospheric physics.
You want to see how carbon dioxide has behaved in Earths past?
Paleoclimatology or just books about the geologic past quickly explain what REALLY happens in an atmosphere saturated with carbon dioxide.
Every 50 or 60 millions years, Earth develops a greenhouse environment.
What really happens?
It gets warmer.
All glaciers melt.
Plants and trees grow absolutely everywhere.
New species emerge out of literally anywhere and begin dominating the landscape.
Thats called species radiation.
A time of plenty.
This planet isn't just about fat, lazy, and ignorant homosapien.
Its about the millions of other species that don't think about war, money, and self gratification.
If we really are going to die out in an extinction, then that is natural selection.
I would love to see the dinosaurs make a comeback.

It’s not called “climate change” it’s called GOD’S WRATH!!!
