DFG Diverts License Money To Global Warming - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Oh one more thing. Statistically the planet is warming up. Does water temperature effect fish, and water quality? Damn straight it does.

Even if man has absolutely nothing to do with it, and this is just a natural cycle, the temperature change is occurring, so don't you think the people in charge of managing our fishery should be aware of that change and the potential implications it has for our fishery in the future?

I'd say they need to know about the issues warmer temps could cause whether the climate change is man made or not.

I certainly understand why people are skeptics when it comes to global warming, but that doesn't mean the DFG should ignore the fact that planet is warming, or ignore the fact that the change in temperature may have a impact on our fish, water quality, or fish management down the line.

Well it all depends on what they're teaching and who is teaching it. Wether they are getting their info from populist activist scientists or just the straight shooters. Will they teach the physics of heat exchange and gas exchange between the ocean and air? Because most of what people report in the papers as science defies the laws of thermodynamics. Will they tell them that the earth is in crisis, or will they teach them the big picture on ocean temperatures that shows a long term cooling even as we come out of the Little Ice Age?
