  • cool

    

  • @justonemorename Well its much much much much muuuuch easier to dump it than to clean it P:

    Its not as easy as that... unfortunately <,<

  • ° War das früher nicht sowas wie Rohseide?

  • Stop flushing your jizz down the toilet

  • This is the most disgusting thing I have seen in years.  From "natural" sources I mean. These are the sign our earth is sicker, even sicker, than we think. The Deepwater disaster will not help things at all.

  • thats alot of cum...

  • @RealSkyDiver2 PFFFT xDDDDD

    THANK YOU <3

  • Can this be 'vacuumed out?

  • There already exists a Dead Sea, we're on the brink to name this the Death Sea...

  • ugh! how disgusting. how is it dangerous to swimmers? it's not like people open their mouths underwater.....hopefully.

  • might swallow by accident

    happened to me once :O

  • Getting covered in the stuff can be very hazardous.

  • It's rare that a person's skin will be completely intact. Most people have random cuts and sores that are still in the process of healing, which would allow bacteria through the skin barrier.

  • @Pannef not to mention the fact that your skin ALWAYS has openings small enough for virus and bacteria to enter. Skin has pores.

  • weird

  • did a whale sneeze?

  • Gobs of Sea Sperm

  • So if the planet is in a natural warming trend, the seas will die? Why didn't the seas die 1000 years ago when the world was 2 degrees hotter?

    This sludge is a product of many other factors this lie of a story forgot to tell you!

  • What lies????!!!!!!! Come one tell me, obviosly your so goddamn smart!!! and were you alive 1000 years ago? yeah I didnt think so! no DONT blasim the stupid government OK!!! You bastasrds have a tendency to blame the government for everything! Not defending the gov but come one OPEN YOU DUMBSHIT EYES!!!

  • Whos eyes are closed?

    There is solid evidence that ocean levels 1000 yrs ago were higher = less ice. If the Earth was warming via CO2 there would be increased evaporation at the equator and increased ice from clouds at the coldest regions. H20 changes phases with temperature. The hotter the air, the more perms it can carry, as hot air is cooled it cannot carry dense molecules. That is why it rains, snows and the poles have ice. Evaporation, Condensation, and Hygroscopic movement...fool.

  • That's like our lungs full of phlegm. Cough it out, sea!

  • its evolution, embrace it.

  • It looks like green insulation when together.

  • thats wat global warming can do ppl. lets take care of this earthly climate. please

  • damn your realy stupid.

  • Did you mean "really" ?

  • whos gives a shit dumbass

  • Well, I figured since you're out calling people stupid...you'd like to know how to type like an intelligent person. Just trying to help you seem less ignorant. Also, it should be "Who gives" not "whos gives".

  • thank you

  • I don't give a fuck about swimmers

  • It's Nature. Let it work.

  • WELL said....

  • What a crock. Global warming - what a scam! The temperatures in just the last (2) years have completely undone Al- Gore's hockey stick! Hey, I'll repeat myself because some of you can't read (or think): The averaged global temperatures for the last (2) years have completely REVERSED the so-called "warming trend". but, according to the media, PLUTO is in danger of melting!

  • Where is the information about average earth temperatures reversing? 2008 was cooler than other years yes, but even as recent as July 2009 temperatures tied the hottest they had ever been. And the 2008 stats show that places had the coldest winters they had ever had. It's not just global warming, it's dramatic climate change. I can message you the links if you want, but don't be fooled by flashy newspaper headlines...get the facts.

  • o.m.g. my seafood diet is doomed

  • thats nasty

  • dont do anything about it and it will turn back to normal. and they said theres a link between these and warmer sea temperatures so they dont even know if its these that cause warmer sea temperatures or the other way around.

  • i think you misunderstood, lol... Their point was that warmer sea temperatures (a.k.a. global warming) is making more favorable conditions for these to grow. Lol how could goo make water warmer?

  • OH GOD DON'T TOUCH IT!

  • When I first clicked play, I pondered to myself, "I wonder when they are going to reference climate change.... Wait for it... wait for it...." BINGO!

  • Haha, people are funny. The commentary describes in detail how horrible and scummy the 'sea mucus' is but the divers are like swimming through it and spreading it around. I think I feel how most other ppl who've commented feel. It would really help if they just grab a net and skim it across the surface of the water to at least filter the surface water.

  • why not just clean it or filter it out? must be a way

  • maybe in a pond. but the whole mediteranniean SP

  • does this stuff DO anything for the environment?

  • "These gel-like sheets of disease-carrying mucus..."

    *Diver disperses mucus all over*

    I cringed.

  • why can't we just filter it like a vacuum cleaner?

  • I dont think its global warming. god cummed in the sea. ok, lets get serious. it must be all that sewage that is released in the sea. mediterranean isnt like new york with sewage treatment plants on every street. many coastal cities will simply dump whatever they shit and spit each morning. how can anyone swim in someone's toothpaste? I'm never swimming in oceans again. and if you count the detergents, soaps, harmful chemicals, some mutation is about to happen to all those bacterias and viruses

  • climate warning is real and the greatest threat to the world

  • not really, some scientists suggest that sahara will get more rains from global warming. woohoo!

  • Whoe, wtf..weird shit is happening

  • pure propaganda

  • "if climate warming continues" temperatures globally haven't been raising dramatically at all. i dunno if natgeo or anyone else got the memo, but the hottest year recorded was 1998, things haven't been increasing. i don't think even 1 degree shift would kill off so many shrimp and other organisms to create this. mother nature isn't that weak. we humans act like we run this planet from the inside out i swear.

  • "Global warming" is really a misnomer. The problem isn't warming or cooling, it's the instability of the climatic system. When wild temperature swings occur on a week-to-week basis ecosystems cannot adapt quickly enough. On a larger time-scale milder winters and cooler summers mean changes in the food-chain (not enough hard frosts to kill off excess insects, e.g.). Overall, the system is becoming chaotic because the climate is becoming unstable, not because it's warming or cooling.

  • god dam global warming

  • ew.

  • penis?

  • I remember this from Croatia - when it was really hot and when the wind wasn't blowing, this stuff would ruin beaches. It's called "the blooming of the sea" in Croatian.

  • never thought id hear "organic." and "disease." in the same sentence.

  • Holy crap, luckily, we're not dealing with that shit.

  • it cuz everyone pees and throws up in the ocean...........

  • idiot

  • lol wat? cant u take a fucking joke.

  • Comment removed

  • There are so many idiots o here how was I supposed to know you were joking

  • Nat Geo is a liberal propagandist machine, yes they are idiots

  • wtf are you talking about this has nothing to do with politics

  • your an idiot huh, you didnt hear the global warming propaganda at the end

  • its "you're".

  • stop being a smartass, besides, 2 can play in that game

    It's "it's"

  • a wise man once said that muselage is actually whale nut. fat ass babies fit for shamu.

  • Damn whale pulled out too fast.

  • lmfao wdf?

  • Hahaha. I was responding to someone. Press all comments and you'll get it LOL!

  • oh i thought it had something to do with it being whale sperm. i actually dont understand what TheMob is saying lol so maybe you are referring to that.

  • THIS PLANET IS GOING TO SHIT!

  • clean that shit up

  • Feel Sad :-(

  • taken

  • no! not the sea planet! :(

  • ): poor planet.

  • The bigger picture isn't that we damage the earth. Global Warming or not, what harm we do only speeds up the inevitable. The planet we live on has cycles, and what stage it's in now will eventually change. At some point, it's going to mean extermination for at least 90% of life on the planet. It's happened before, it'll happen again. THAT'S natural, and THAT'S the bigger picture. The world does not revolve around humans. Get over it.

  • it may not revolve around humans yet, but we can make it revolve around us. Something called "technoligy"

  • No technology in the world can beat mother nature. No matter how advanced it becomes.

  • You fail to realize the human technology. Im not saying were supernatural beings and can inhabit mars im just saying that in the long run nature wont be shit to stop our technological advancement. Weve made learning robots and were nearly complete with virtual reality beings that we can have conversations with.

    Seriously, ur making humans sond like helpless little squirells caught in a forest fire. There is a very big difference for humans.

    To make this clear, were not there yet, but wewil

  • I think you highly underestimate the greater power here. I get that technology has it's advantages, but it can do nothing against the powers that exist beyond it. That's what nature is. Without nature, there is no us, and there is no technology. Doesn't matter what we create, in the end we're not just defenseless squirrels caught in a forest fire. We're more like flies caught in a spider's nest.

    Anyway, I say we just agree to disagree. Everyone has their opinion, so it's no big deal. :)

  • us humans go beyond nature . . .

  • At some point the sun (which is a star, not a planet) is going to supernova. THIS IS NATURAL! We will not be able to stop it. If this has been around since the 1700's then it'll still be around. Also, remember that mercury fish scare and then when they tested mercury levels in fossilized fish the mercury levels were the same! HEY DOOMSAYERS! SHUT THE F*** UP!!

  • We can alway find a way to save ourselves so i believe we can do the same when the sun supernova's

  • I think the BIG PICTURE here is to just keep an eye on everything (like this muscus) since we dont know much about it. It causes harm, and we may be linked one way or another. maybe not for ALL of it but for some. Also, we SHOULD be nicer to the planet, recycle, reduce, reuse ans stuff, NOT BEACUSE OF GLOBAL WARMING but beacuse IT BENEFITS THE EARTH LIke..ffs. Why do people be like 'oh, global warmings fake so ill just not recycle' who cares if its real or not? you live on earth. take care of it

  • Gaaaah... mucus..

  • Sigh, Global warming stuff.....

    Okay, YES, The earth natrually changes its temp from time to time. YES other planets do things too, YES we dont accountf for ALL green house emissions.

    but with this issue people look past the big picture. It isnt about if the earth will get too hot and things melt and that being unnatrual or natural or not... its about the fact that we have proof that WE AS HUMANS CAUSE SOME DAMAGE TO THE EARTH. rather that speeds things up that would happen anyway or not

  • looks like jiz

  • It's flubber man! he's pissed!

  • ewh this is too much

  • Dudes in the comments section arguing about global warming... may I join in? :D

    Global warming is real, but it's not entirely OUR fault. humans only contribute to 3% of the greenhouse gasses present in earth. the rest? dead leaves emitting carbon dioxide. So basically the planet is killing itself-It's inevitable.

    heard about Mt.Pinatubo? when it erupted, it brought world temp down, way down. Let's just hope the world does have it's own regulatory cycle to keep it's temp posibl for living. :)

  • O_O then why wont they clean it up? scoop them then dump them in a garbage can...

  • OMG! THE BLOB IS COMING! RUN!

  • That's discusting, IMO..

  • wow. do we blame "global warming" for everything?

  • ye we do :)

  • Global warming is real. Just repent and believe God sent his only son to redeem us of our sins.

  • Dun let god fool you. He's god he can have as many sons as he wants.

  • why is god a single parent?

  • god sent us this planetary warming and he can take it all away.

    Hmm.... unconditional love for someone who is trying to destroy you.... Was your father an alcoholic?

  • looks like tiberian lifeform .. it will transform into .. giant tripod and kick our asses ..

  • the worlds going to moldXDjoke but man if it spreads will die!!!our fishies will die!!our seas will turn blobby!

  • i've seen similar thing in plain water... it looked more disgusting... this is bad... scientist should find something that can eat those "blob"...

  • oh crap...

    we're doomed.

  • that is bad stuff,if the earth warm another 10 degrees we are fucked

  • Let's see how the data is interpreted before we play the blame game. (or we can just make Italy the scapegoat)

  • So, they still didn't tell us what the cause was or how we can stop it. ;\

  • we're fucked.

  • Damn i just wanna use somekind of giant filtered vacum and clean this shit all up.

    Poor earth...

  • use a underwater suckin thing lol

  • Regarding our earth, yes the harm is done, but we can recover. Remember this it is a biproduct, a waste that invaded the natural rhythm of that region's cycles. If it's atop water yeah we should be very concerned! Now animals on the surface can be exposed to such a threat. Global warming has EVERYTHING to do with it. OPEN YOUR EYES FOLKS!

  • It's just a shame that we can do nothing about it. It is as if we are helpless to whati s coming because our leaders will not tell us the truth and would rather have us fight an imaginary war on climate change.

    The change is real... just not the cause.

    All of the outer planets are warming. PLUTO has warmed. It is moving away from the sun and is warming. Jupiter has warmed by 30%.

    Don't worry! The Gulf Stream current has slowed by 30% since 1998. Warming? No, no... quite the opposite!

  • Mars is heating up (if it even is heating up, we're not actually sure) because of albedo differences, not the sun.

    Neptune is heating up because the season is changing.

    Jupiter is warming up because of changes in its internal heat source.

    Pluto is not a planet but if it is heating up from the sun the Earth would have to be heating up A LOT more.

    Uranus is cooling.

  • I've heard the seasonal change argument. Totally plausable. But, with the evidence that all of the other planets are warming, this suggests that it is not seasonal. Pluto's ice caps have decreased. Our Moon's atmosphere has increased by 7%.

    Cosmic dust is on the rise. The Sun is in a deep solar minimum. Alpha Centauri's magnetic field has decreased by 25%. (Four light years away)

    Our atmosphere is telling us something is F'd up and our Sun is losing its magnetic field.

    Infrared and UV rad?

  • good job humans.

  • that shit is nasty...

  • I'm sure that stuff could be harvested and used in some way. A mixture of dead and living organisms sounds like good compost.

  • LoL this is like the gang system

  • SEA BOOGERS!!!!!

  • fucking blow all that bullshit up then feed it to george clooney

  • ew ew ew ew ew ew ew

  • Great. What other awful crap do we cause?

  • Ew! Yeah, that's smart. Let's go underwater and mess with it, making it spread. Good job, humans!

  • yum.

  • that stuff looks like my sister's hair...

  • someone sneezed

  • any fish stupid enough to get the gills filled with that goo deserves it

  • hahahaha

  • for reals, its called natural selection

  • Well, they have to breath. >.>

  • why are they swiming in it if it has diseases...

  • I wonder if anything eats it.

  • looks like whale jizz

  • I raise fish, and when a fish gets stressed out it makes something like this we call it Ick and it kills all the fish if you don't do something about it

  • look like whale sperm

  • o m g... that is really gross...

  • i blame canadians

  • lol. just lol. fuckin yankee

  • what about USA and china dude?

  • Well we r fucked!

  • Oh dear :(

  • thats pretty nasty

  • What i can see in about 30 of the comments, is that this is sea mucus. Obviously... lol - but what im trying to say is, they have been having mysteries about sea monsters - In blobby, mucusy shapes, which brings to a point. That this could be from those or it could be dead ones which have rotted over time in the water and it mainly shows in heat... Idk, im just raising a question or statement. Whichever you feel.

  • mucinex in, mucus out

  • ha ha ha owne  nice one man

  • Maybe God blew a snot rocket into the Mediterranean Sea.

  • We continue to keep pumping the waters full of pollutants. We are destroying our environments.

    Do what you can and peak up. One love

  • Just stop driving.

  • ughh they're swimming through snot...

  • Delicious.

  • whoa! that's too big! IMOHO another problem for mankind tho...peace out!

  • Just take a huge vacuum and suck it all up, then use it to insulate houses, it's an eco win-win.

  • Eww, it reminds me of house insulation. o.O

  • DIRTY!!!!!!

  • Inches ojetes por que bloquean videos para México. Voy a cancelar mi Subcripcion.

  • its just everyones snot

  • just like my nose.

  • The Sea King has a cold, and that marine mucilages is his mucus.

  • SEA KING FUCK YAH

  • how arew they idiots. they are probably smarter than you x.x

  • I think that I have one of these growing in my bath tub.

  • hmm interesting.

  • Just because the Earth is warming (which is a fact) doesn't mean that it is caused be the greenhouse effect morons.

  • Just because the Earth is warming (which is a fact) doesn't mean that it isn't caused by the greenhouse effect moron. ;D

  • you said that twice idt!
