The Dead Zone

Hypoxic zones are areas in the ocean of such low oxygen concentration that animal life suffocates and dies, and as a result are sometimes called "dead zones." One of the largest dead zones forms in the Gulf of Mexico every spring. This data visualization discusses the causes of hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico.

Well, at 1:46-1:59 there is a typo that is pretty "hilarius." <---- =) Not YOUR fault I know, your point is valid.

@TODIALAS2012 Ignorance is no excuse. It seems you have access to resources to do the research (since you are using the internet). If you don't want to give an educated opinion then don't post. If the definition of ignorance escapes you then try using a dictionary.

@TODIALAS2012 It might make your point valid if you actually used spell check and possibly took some grammar courses. Also the point of blaming Christians is a complete and utter idiotic statement. I myself am a Christian and I believe something needs to be done as well. Become educated then follow the scientific method, then and only then will you possibly be one of the intelligent "sheeple" and can make a decent hypothesis.

So I don't understand. If this is a cycle that happens EVERY YEAR, then why worry about it? Everything goes back to normal. In fact, this whole this is normal.
