Jellyfish and Radiation
When all is said and done and man has completely raped the planet destroying as much life as he possibly can it is theorized only the cockroaches will be left. Just Google cockroaches and radiation and you will see what I mean. But cockroaches can only go as far as the beach so it is the spineless, boneless jellyfish that will essentially be the cockroach of the sea. Jellyfish for some reason are drawn in huge numbers to radioactive hot spots and some have even begun to grow in massive proportion and in huge numbers as a result, especially off the coast of Japan. I list below just a few of the best articles and videos about how jellyfish are thriving in our ever more irradiated oceans.
So long humans.
And thanks for all the jellyfish.
If the oceans are indeed in steep decline, it may just be a triumph of the brainless -- namely, the humble jellyfish.
"The number of case studies is increasing," Lucas Brotz of the University of British Columbia Fisheries Centre told the Huffington Post, "And it certainly seems we are having a severe impact on the oceans that is making them less favourable for fish and more favourable for jellyfish in some places."
So far, the most direct impact -- aside from swimming into a cloud of the critters -- is being felt at the world's nuclear reactor sites.
Remember that backed-up nuclear site in Sweden last week?
Oskarshamn, one of the world's biggest nuclear plants, had to shut down for days after the intake pipes were found to be completely clogged.
The culprit?
"We had a huge invasion of jellyfish," plant spokesman Torbjorn Larsson told the Wall Street Journal. "Our staff calculated over a tonnne."
