Today I saw a bit of TV news and a baby shark was spotted off the coast of Long Beach by a paddle boarder not too far off shore. As a result warning signs were posted. Not to panic anyone. Just be aware.
The newscaster mentioned that some scientists (the ones that believe in Earth Changes and Global Warming) think that it's changes in water temperatures (and therefore currents) that are bringing sharks closer into shore, not just off Long Beach, California, but any ocean that has sharks. I agree that this is a strong possibility.
But there are so many different types of sharks and generally they are not all JAWS looking to chomp boats in half that interfere in their feeding on people.
A couple years ago I saw the film JAWS again, one of director Steven Spielberg's earliest efforts, and it was so suspenseful the way it was filmed and edited. It starts with missing children and a frantic mom on a crowded beach and goes from there, upping the horror until the huge shark goes after the scientists and fishermen alike.
It stands to reason that when the earth itself is warmer, the oceans are going to be warmer too. Now some people think the earth is a sentient being in its own right, a living thinking being, who makes its adjustments as it needs to in order to preserve its own life. These people may be the most radical of all the Earth Changes - Global Warming devotes, but you never know. It's also possible. There is so much we do not understand yet, so much that the scientists are working on, that whenever I read about another sea creature that might be a mermaid washing up on shore, I think "Why not?" Why are there stories of mermaids in so many cultures around the globe? (Including inland, lake and river mermaids!)
Yours,
