"Expert" Says Fatal Shark Attacks Increasing Because Of 'Global Warming' - i.e. Human Activity

Surge in fatal shark attacks blamed on global warming: guardian.co.uk

"'The one thing that's affecting shark attacks more than anything else is human activity,' said Dr George Burgess of Florida University, a shark expert who maintains the database."

"Some experts suggest that an abundance of seals has attracted high numbers of sharks, while others believe that overfishing has hit their food chain. 'I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it's a convenient excuse,' Burgess said. Another contributory factor to the location of shark attacks could be global warming and rising sea temperatures. 'You'll find that some species will begin to appear in places they didn't in the past with some regularity,' he said."

re: shark expert weighs in on 'global warming'

Recently, former Vice President Al Gore and a nonprofit climate group stated that they had begun a three-year $300 million advertising blitz to recruit 10 million global warming advocates/evangelists to the cause. Looks like now they'll just need 9,999,999 more...
