Red Tides plague Gulf Beaches
Last Plague #2 is about red tides and fish-kills that are to kill all of the creatures in the sea. The Apocalypse doesn’t say which seas, but for years now red tides and fish- kills have been plaguing the Gulf of Mexico.
The worst areas are Florida’s gulf coast and the mouth of the Mississippi from Louisiana to Georgia, plagued by fish-kills almost year-round, and especially in the hot summer months. Both are caused by fertilizer run-off, scientists say, coupled with warming seas.
Late last summer, during a heat wave, a red tide appeared at the mouth of the Brazos river and extended from Galveston’s west beach to the Sargent area, for the first time in memory. The cause is believed to be hot weather coupled with a drought, and not helping anything are five dams on the Brazos River which withhold the cool fresh water that coastal waters need.
Occasionally, red tides form at the mouth of the Colorado river in the hot summer months, and largely because of the 15 dams and diversions on the river, a huge number.
Solution: We need to stop man-made global warming including fast- warming seas by converting to cleaner energy, and also control fertilizer run-off – and in many cases, blow up some detrimental dams.
Americanrivers.org managed to demolish 29 offending dams last year, making just a small dent in the estimated 30,000 dams in the United States. As a direct benefit for their efforts, endangered Salmon (and other species) are making a miraculous comeback.

Postscript: The seas where plague 2 is the worst are China's seas, which has the world's biggest dam and the world's most polluted river deltas (that red tides feed on). China's seas may be the first to succumb to this plague, but the Gulf of Mexico may be next if nothing is done about it.

Well, this article is only about last plague # 2, which is about deadly red tides (the color of a dead man's blood). BTW, if you eat one of those infected fish, and especially if you eat a contaminated oyster, you might die also.
Last plague # 4 is about global warming (scorching men with heat) and it is equally valid, and it will get worse before it gets better (when we switch to electric vehicles, etc). Sorry, but there are NO failed prophesies.

To Pinguinite and A K A Stone
I'm pretty sure its accurate because I told everyone in south Texas that my articles (including this one) are now posted on the internet at Libertysflame.com. But a lot of my readers don't like you guys much cause there's a lot of cussing, so there's not much actual posting.
If you guys could clean it up a little, I'm sure more people would post.

This I agree with. I only resort to some peppered language on extremely rare occasions, and I don't think I've ever done so here. I'm open to being corrected, however.

Well, I was mainly referring to aka Stone. You are OK in my book, and I realize this website is all about liberty and free speech, etc, so i am not advocating censorship, just a little more effort at being civilized.
