Surge in fatal shark attacks blamed on global warming?

I actually do believe the sharks are migrating due to warming. It is called springtime.

How in the hell did AlGore convince the sharks to attack?....The wooden Indian is simply amazing!

Letters are appearing in many coastal newspapers asking them to report on the dangers of a new trend. That is, triathletes practicing their swimming outside the surf line in the morning and evening.

Now...when attacks by triathletes go up 400% in one year, THAT will be proof of global warming.

The sharks are attacking because of a lack of natural oils in their diet. Can we drill now?

“Surge in fatal shark attacks blamed on global warming?”

Could it also be that global warming is the cause of swimmers preferring shark infested waters?

Global warming causes e.d. !

I don't buy into this global warming phenomenon, but I don't denigrate those who do.

For those of you who do believe in AGW, denigrate means "to put down."

Another pure garbage story worthy to be fed to the pigs. If, as some recent scientific reports suggest, ocean temps are actually decreasing (and not increasing), then the rise of shark attacks can be attributed to global cooling, and not global warming.

This makes sense as it regards the great white shark, which is a cool-water shark. On the Pacific side, the cooler ocean temps would help explain the increased sightings — and attacks.

But will they blame global cooling for this? Not on your life.

After applying the logic in this article, your explanation makes perfect sense.

Radio tagging off the California coast has shown that female whites hit southerly waters (including Hawaii) in the winter and spring (they are really thick off Guadalupe Island in mexico). They think it's for breeding and pupping, but they don't really know. The San Diego attack was thought to have been a female based on the Bite Radius.

In days of old, spiritual leaders, witch doctors and the like, would tell people eclipses happened and crops failed because they were impious and weren’t supplying said shamans with enough virgins (for sacrifice, of course). I used to wonder how people could be so gullible. Now I look at this global warming hysteria, which blames the weather, natural disasters and animal behavior on politically incorrect thinking, and I understand. Maybe we should offer Al Gore a couple of virgins?

I have a cavity. Global warming must have caused it.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

Good one! I’m going to steal it for future use.

"This just in....98+% of all people who eat carrots, eventually die!"

Global warming, for sure.

"I just heard a report on the radio this morning that said the polar pack ice is thicker this year than in any year since 1970."

While every single program the Discovery Channel is running about Alaska tells us all the ice is melting and what a crisis it is.

This is what I wrote on today’s thread about Koalas:

“If it’s cute and cuddly — it’s threatened by climate change.

If it’s ugly, vicious, slimy, disgusting, or dangerous — climate change will multiply their number.”

"Has anybody considered that maybe the sharks are hungry?"

But they wouldn't be hungry if it weren't for the global food crisis brought about by global warming!

[GSWarrior]

I was paraphrasing Bob Newhart....it’s a great line.

[WOBBLY BOB]

last time this crap led headlines, 9/11 happened shortly thereafter and kind of refocused reality.

[cake_crumb]

That’s probably exactly the logic they use.
