The big question is, was "the Blob" just the result of normal variability in oceanic conditions or was it the result of climate change? Or was "the Blob" a product of natural oceanic temp variability made worse (10 to 20 %) by climate change. Whatever the answer, wild salmon runs are already at-risk due to increasing pollution (storm-water run-off a major problem particularly in Puget Sound), habitat destruction (despite attempts to restore salmon habitat, over the past decade we've seen a net decrease in salmon habitat) and possible overfishing. The quote from Will Rodgers applies to salmon too.
