Fewer Shark Attacks NOT Blamed On Global Warming

February 19, 2009 – 10:39 pm

• May 4th 2008: Surge in fatal shark attacks blamed on global warming
• September 15 2008: Sharks don’t much like colder northern and southern waters but global warming may yet extend the range of these inadvertent man-eaters.
• February 19 2009: Shark Attacks Dip To Five Year Low In 2008. Sagging Economy May Have Played A Role

I think they missed the narrative. It used to be that when it was hot, it was global warming, when it was cold, it was weather. Then they changed it to when it is hot, it is global warming, when it is cold, it is because of global warming. So, when shark attacks surge, it is global warming, when they dip, it is because of global warming.

   Teach I think finally you may be grasping the full implications of global climate change. I still remember how surprised you were to learn that increased snow fall in the interior of Antartica or the northern interior of Alaska might be attributed to global warming. Do you remember ? Both are deserts, having less than 10′ of percipitation per year.

   sorry that should be less than 10″ inches which is how a desert is typically defined

   I am convinced the sharks were all preoccupied trying to be appointed to the IL Senate seat. Oh sorry wrong sharks. But I do know that say very cold weather and global cooling is caused by global warming is like eating a steak to prove you are a vegetarian.
