Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water.

As the summer beach season opens across the United States, experts are warning beach goers to take extra precautions as they predict a record number of shark attacks this year.

George Burgess, director of the International Shark Attack File at the University of Florida, warned that the United States could expect more than 100 attacks this year - thanks, in part, to global warming.

For gawd sakes. Please know that there is no global warming. Absolute lie to get policy control of your life— and your stuff. The Earth is cooling. That is why they went to “climate change” with no measurable criteria. THERE IS NO GLOBAL WARMING!!! We are closer to a new ICE AGE!!

I’m positive that my recent bouts of indigestion are directly linked to global warming. (Listening/reading this junk has caused all the pain).

Since GW causes Muslims to commit terror this makes sense.

The good things brought by the Global Warming “menace” outweigh the bad. The thing that comes to mind are my tomato plants. The hell with the sea lions. I want my tomato plants to grow huge tasty beefsteaks. Al Gore, can go suck his small lemons.

If we only openly welcomed the sharks and gave the sanctuary and assistance, I am sure we would have less of a problem.

BS!
Sharks breed in cold waters like Tomales Bay for example.

“Global warming is blamed for record number of shark attacks in America”

Sherman says “Global what!?” “Actually it’s the people taste better nowadays. Not so stringy, and tough” he said.

George Burgess, director of the International Shark Attack File at the University of Florida, should be fired.

The University of Florida should be ashamed of having any affiliation with this idiot.

What can possibly go wrong.

The guy warns that more people will be swimming because of warmer temperatures. Then he says there’ll more shark attacks because of warmer temperatures.

There will only be more shark attacks if there is more for them to attack. I don’t think the temperature going up less than one degree is going to warm the water so much that more people go swimming.

“How’s the water?”

“Great! So much warmer than last year!”

If these nut cases would keep their traps shut, less hot air would escape, and global cooling would result.

More targets in the water equals more opportunity...

The real problem is there are simply too many humans...
