A recent article blames Global Warming for the increase in shark attacks.
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.
In all fairness, the article does state there are more people in the ocean waters.
'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. 'As the population continues
to rise, so does the number of people in the water for recreation. And
as long as we have an increase in human hours in the water, we will
have an increase in shark bites.'
Which is more than likely the real reason why there have been an increase in shark attacks. After all the ocean is the sharks habitat and not humans.

This is where sharks get their food. So if you look like a tasty morsel to them, then get bitten you will get. Actually, we don't taste that good to sharks. Sharks like to feed on ocean animals and not humans. Seals are tasty to sharks with their blubber and fat. Whereas humans are not fat and blubbery tasting to sharks. Although, you wouldn't say that about everyone that goes into the ocean.
Shark Bait?
I guess I shouldn't make fun. I need to lose weight also. But I have to point out the hypocrisies in blaming global warming for everything under the sun. When the sun just might be the root cause of any warming that might be. I am still skeptical of any global warming, climate change, human activity, whatever you want to call it. Because there has never been any proof that this isn't normal activity.
I call it a "Walt Disney" view of how the the world works.
