One of the greatest threats known to the living world
Today, Alexandra Morton wrote the following passage with all seriousness.
… While the governments of British Columbia and Canada turn a blind-eye, I believe the Norwegian salmon feedlots operating in BC are perpetrating one of the greatest threats known to the living world. Turning feedlot viruses from the Atlantic Ocean loose into the Pacific is damage that might not ever be repaired.
That’s right. B.C. salmon farms are one of the greatest threats known to the living world, in Ms. Morton’s mind.

Clearly, the woman who wrote this is not the woman who once opened up a whole new field of scientific investigation and discovery (although her premise was flawed, she did open up the door for a lot of good science about sea lice).
The woman who wrote this is no longer interested in context, facts, science and where the data leads. The woman who wrote this has a moralistic, quasi-religious and blind vendetta against B.C. salmon farms.
So why does she still get quoted as a “scientist?” She tossed that hat away years ago.
