so here we go,
a new article suggests that the 7 deaths from shark attacks in Australian waters in 2020 (so far) has been attributed to, you guessed it....
climate change.

what a load of crap!
theres around 20 attacks here every year with, on average, one or two deaths, surely deaths would be more dependent upon where a shark bites you, the severity of the attack and where it bites you and not climate change?!
