Useful Idiots
The rise in recent shark attacks has been blamed on Global Warming(tm).
Some experts suggest that an abundance of seals has attracted high numbers of sharks, while others believe that overfishing has hit their food chain. ‘I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, but it’s a convenient excuse,’ Burgess said. Another contributory factor to the location of shark attacks could be global warming and rising sea temperatures. ‘You’ll find that some species will begin to appear in places they didn’t in the past with some regularity,’ he said.
I wonder if this is a reporter prompted response or the ‘expert’ personally believes Global Warming(tm) is causing the attacks. In either case, since ocean temperatures are falling:
The world’s oceans cooled suddenly between 2003 and 2005, losing more than 20 percent of the global-warming heat they’d absorbed over the previous 50 years. That’s a vast amount of heat, since the oceans hold 1,000 times as heat as the atmosphere. The ocean-cooling researchers say the heat was likely vented into space, since it hasn’t been found stored anywhere on Earth.
It seems like a rather illogical conclusion to reach doesn’t it? What isn’t being blamed on Global Warming these days? It’s gotten to the point where the whole thing is a joke. This is caused by it; that’s caused by it. It’s really no wonder at all that the same number of people worry about it today as they did 20 years ago. All these blizzards during Earth Day/Global Warming celebrations in April aren’t going to get those numbers higher.
Update: Tim Blair notes that Global Warming(tm) will give us all AIDS too. Stunning.
