Sounds to me that Geoff Irvine of the Lobster council blamed warn spring temperatures and the author of the article, Francine Kopun, turned that into Global Warming. Which, in and of itself, says a lot.

  And if there had been an unusual delay because of a cold spring, there would have been nary a word.

  Pooh. It has to be AGW to provide an excuse for statist meddling and the elimination of economic freedom.

  In many ways the Green Economy is nothing more than 21st century mercantilism for the politically connected. If we do not get a handle on that reality, mercantilism will squelch widespread prosperity.

  And then it will be visible serfdom.

There's actually a glut of the "soft-shelled", or shedder, lobsters on the market. They don't travel as well as the "hard-shelled" versions, so these cheaper prices are fairly localized.

While I was up in Maine last month, I read a fair bit about this (I also ate my share of lobster). Needless to say, it has about as much to do with global warming as you'd expect.
