Surge in fatal shark attacks blamed on global warming

Three decades have passed since the movie Jaws sent terrified bathers scrambling out of the ocean. But as any beach lifeguard knows, there's still nothing like a gory shark attack to stoke public hysteria and paranoia.

Two deaths in the waters off California and Mexico last week and a spate of shark-inflicted injuries to surfers off Florida's Atlantic coast have left beachgoers seeking an explanation for a sudden surge in the number of strikes.

In the first four months of this year, there were four fatal shark attacks worldwide, compared with one in the whole of 2007, according to the International Shark Attack File at the Florida Museum of Natural History in Gainesville.

'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.'

The water is warmer so more people hop in for longer periods of time. Not this guy though, the east coast ocean/beach is boring to me anyway.

i love the outer banks

now here is a crock


OAK ISLAND, N.C. (AP) -- After two young people lost limbs in separate shark attacks in costal North Carolina this weekend, the beaches were open Monday and the mayor said she didn't think emergency workers had enough time between incidents to close the beaches.

A 12-year-old girl was attacked just after 4 p.m. Sunday in Oak Island, and a 16-year-old boy was attacked less than two hours later about two miles away.

Oak Island Mayor Betty Wallace told The Associated Press on Monday that she didn't think that gave workers enough time to decide to close the beach between attacks. Beaches were closed after the second attack.

Using this chart it appears that since 1870 the sea level has risen about 8.8 inches. Makes one wonder why they did move the light house you mentioned.

No connection but it is reported that the mayor bought a bigger boat.

Holy shit. They did. They are blaming the shark attacks on GLOBAL WARMING!!!

Predictable as rain.

Dear Lord I hate liberals.

Why do you suppose the seas were rising in 1870 and seem to be rising on the same curve ever since? It appears to me that instead of closing manufacturing plants and putting people out of work we ought to be preparing for a rise in ocean level that we can't possibly stop, at least according to the graphs.

Here is the real reason for moving the lighthouse, at least moving a lighthouse.

In 1999, the Cape Hatteras Light Station, which consists of seven historic structures, was successfully relocated 2,900 feet from the spot on which it had stood since 1870. Because of the threat of shoreline erosion, a natural process, the entire light station was safely moved to a new site where the historic buildings and cisterns were placed in spatial and elevational relationship to each other, exactly as they had been at the original site. While the National Park Service has met its obligation to both historic preservation and coastal protection, the much-heralded move of the historic station, especially the lighthouse, was hotly debated and closely watched.
