Perhaps you see that as the consequence. For other people the solution might be to move more quickly on curbing the runoff since climate change could exacerbate the problem OF the runoff. That's the argument I've seen in the literature. Go figure. Those silly scientists. Where's Brownie when you need him?

>> If we tie the problem of dead zones in with GW, IMO we're even less likely to get needed action on the dead zones. When linked with GW, the alternatives are to throw up one's hands at the insurmountable problem, laugh at the GW kooks, or step up the effort to improve gas mileage in cars to combat GW, none of which is useful for cleaning up the dead zones. If anything, they take energy away from dealing with other types of pollution.<< Karen - The problem we're having with communicating about this is that there are actually two kinds of "dead zones". One type is caused by nitrogen runoff, and the other is naturally occurring low-oxygen zones. Both types are increasing in size and number. The latter may be doing so because of global warming. The article Bob found so amusing was about the low-oxygen zones that historically have been found only in deep ocean. They are now beginning to encroach on continental shelves. - Allen
