Human beings might have to cope with an increasing amount of venomous bites, stings, and other brush ups with poison due to climate change. Thats according to a new study, coming at the same time that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a report warning that negative impacts from a warming world are coming faster than expected.
According to a massive new analysis of poisonous or venomous aquatic animals, dangerous species might become increasingly common in new ranges. Species whose ranges might shift polewards due to warmer water include lionfish, sea snakes, crown-of-thorns starfish and a number of different types of venomous jellies.
According to the researchers, the problem is only going to be exacerbated in the future as more and more people move into coastal areas. They note that by the end of the century, 50 percent of the worlds population will be living within 60 miles of a coastline.
There are more and more people going in the water, Purcell agrees.
We are a part of our environment and our ecosystem. Changes affect us and we change whats happening in our ecosystem, Neylan says.

Each day, we get a minimum of one disaster due to climate change.

They are cranking up the volume now for 2 reasons:
1. Getting near election
2. Need to be heard over the screeching of metoo women.

National Geographic has been for some time a leftist rag promoting the phony climate change agenda.
Unless we regain control of the institutions of our society, we will lose the war.

Is there anything climate change cant do? Well, it hasn't folded my laundry...yet. And, I hear it can not make a decent cup of coffee to save its life. There's always hope, though.

There are more and more people going in the water, Purcell agrees. That's because glowbull warming is making sharks smarter, and they are yelling at crowded beaches "BEAR! BEAR!! BEAR!!!".

We noticed something changed, we have no idea why.
What could it be, what could it be...?
Oh, I know! I know! Climate Change!
Where is my grant money?

National Geographic has gone downhill, way down. I cannot watch their tv shows as it would mention global baloney at some point like the pbs ones do.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
So more and Co2 and warmth is causing life to grow and expand....?!!!
What a surprise.

No problem. Lubchenco, former head of NOAA and she of the starfish broach, told us years ago that the oceans would soon be like battery acid.
Looks as if ocean acidification will solve the problem of these deadly sea creatures while we humans continue on our way.

Keep hope, I’m sure it will accomplish those and more.
As for me, I need to lose 40 lb from my gut and waist, I’m hoping that climate change can pull that one off too.
