Increased Carbon Emissions Creating Giant Crabs

Posted by samzenpus on from the I-for-one-would-like-to-welcome-our-new-crab-overlords dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A lot of things in America are supersized: our portions, our drinks and now, apparently, our crabs. New research reveals that crabs can grow much faster and larger when water is saturated with carbon.This means that as greenhouse gas emissions grow, so will these crustaceans."

    So, in a controlled test, providing more of a BUILDING BLOCK OF LIFE, carbon, NOT POLLUTION, the crabs grew larger.

    This would suggest that the poor creatures are carbon-deprived in the outlying environment.

    We would be doing them a great service to increase the volume of output of carbon.
