There is a marked political tendency among the socialists' scientists to blame everything on global warming and other politically corect causes, and that may well bite us all.

I agree. In Delaware and New Jersey they are blaming lower numbers of certain migratory birds on overharvesting of horseshoe crabs by commercial fishermen.

When I lived in Maryland, the only time you saw horseshoe crabs was during the mating season. Otherwise, they were offshore doing their thing and rarely sighted.

Offhand, that sounds like another PC reason to me.

Which birds are they blaming the shortage on?
