Is global warming causing oysters to get herpes?
That's not a pearl in your oyster. Oyster beds in Europe are being ravaged by a new strain of herpes that thrives in warm water.

Seriously? Somewhere between 20% and all of them? That's a pretty huge gap there. Kind of invalidates the whole article there.
Granted the language is not that carefully stated, but I believe it's 20% to 100% PER bed. Not 20% to 100% of ALL the Oysters in ALL the beds in France.
Lol....well at least Jesse James can now blame it on the Oysters and Not Bombshell McGee
"the virus has wiped out 20 to 100 percent of oysters in the French beds."
Either 80% are still there, or they all have been wiped out.
Let's get Dr. Conrad Murray to write a valtrex prescription for the entire ocean!
It is not at all the case that the water in the sea is warming. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that this "oyster herpes" is caused by global warming. I am worried that this article might be spreading unneccessary fears.
RTIB

At list we know their sick and we can do something about it
