Climate Change Is Making Sharks Right-Handed

Australian researchers recently bred Port Jackson sharks in a tank warmed to a temperature likely to occur at the end of the century if climate change continues unabated. These warmer waters made the sharks right-handed.

When I saw early signs that my shark was left handed, I immediately duct taped his left hand so could not use it. Now he just swims in circles.

We had a local pool shark named ‘Lefty’.

I’d have thought sharks growing hands would be bigger news.

But now she lives down by the ocean.
She’s takin’ care to look for sharks.
They hang out in the local bars,
And they feed right after dark.

Can’t you feel ‘em circlin’ honey?
Can’t you feel ‘em swimmin’ around?
You got fins to the left, fins to the right,
and you’re the only bait in town.

To gain power they instill fear using lies.

"then incubated those eggs in a special tank designed to simulate the hot, end-of-century temperatures expected to prevail if climate change continues unabated. "

"temperatures expected"......

They have NO way of modeling temperature expectations at the end of the century, because they have NO way to quantify the variables.

but they still taste good

So, changing the temperature of the water where the eggs were originally laid, affected the sharks development, assuming all other factors were eliminated (very hard to do).

Linking this to "climate change" makes this sexy research that will circulate the globe, instead of mildly interesting research about vertebrate development.

I think most of them are right-handed actually.

“Clams got legs!”

Now I must kill him.

Sharks can write?

[Lurkinanloomin]

That’s a pretty good trick considering sharks don’t have hands.......

Where does that leave the Jets?

[Magnum44]

These warmer waters made the sharks right-handed.

Does that make them more maneuverable in tornadoes in the northern hemisphere?

[Flintlock]

No more VOTING for all you sharks!!

Where’s his beer?

[steveo]

I think so, the strip continues with his family. I don’t read hard copy newspapers so haven’t seen it in years.

[Libloather]

Now he just swims in circles.

Gotta find a way to race 'em. NASCAR sharks! Yes!

[Paal Gulli]

A right-handed shark once bit my sister ...

Mynd you, right-handed shark bites Kan be pretty nasti...

[bgill]

That shark may have hands but he’s still holding his beer in his left hand.
