Default Re: PBS special on Caulerpa tonight!

That show was a lesson more in Eco-Politics than anything else.
The one scientist saying "The sky is falling":
Ever time a new piece of science comes out someone spins it into a new doomsday theory. Killer Asteroids, 700' Tsunami, the new ice age. They cry wolf too often and it ruins their credibility. Does a program on Caulerpa really need spooky music and time capture video? Come on if you just watched this program you would think this stuff grew a couple of feet an hour . And I'm a freakin' Liberal.
The establishment Monaco scientist (think stuffy french accent) all like "Well maybe it is a naturally occurrence." Read DENIE, DENIE, DENIE. Some lawyer probably told him to say that. Lets see the Monaco Aquarium running and OPEN system for some of their tanks. They admit they had the Taxifolia in them. The first outbreak happened literally under the aquarium. Yeah right it natural.
Anyway like most thing the true ends up somewhere in the middle but nobody notice because they got sick of the BS and stopped paying attention.
