Egyptian Shark Attacks are Blamed on the Environment

Ah, Global Warming what can't you prove?

George Burgess, a prominent shark expert and member of a team that flew in to Sharm el-Sheikh to help out with the probe, said they were working on the assumption something had altered the ecological balance in the coral rich coast.

"It is safe to say that the situation where you have a clump distribution in attacks, occurring after another in a limited geographical distribution, is very rare indeed," Burgess told AFP on Tuesday.

These rare cases are "associated with an attractive event that brings sharks into the area," he said, adding the event could be man-made or environmental. "There is something that altered the balance."

Um, I'm not a shark expert but the clump of attacks seem to be from one shark that hasn't been caught. Usually sharks keep going back to feed where the tasty food is. In any case this will probably show up the Intergovernmental Climate Change Panel next to all the glaciers melting in 30 years.
