Who says “global warming” doesn’t have some positive value? Well I guess if you are a tofu chomping green that recoils at the thought of eating lobster, you wouldn’t see this in a positive light, but many people do.
Miguel Rakiewicz submits this in WUWT Tips and Notes today:
Newly abundant and much cheaper lobster thanks to Global Warming.
———————————
A story published in The Toronto Star in print on Saturday, 07 July 2012, and on the web on Friday, 06 July 2012, (06 July 2012) http://www.thestar.com/business/article/1223031–lobster-is-now-cheaper-than-cold-cuts-in-some-places-mclobster-anyonereveals that lobster prices have gone down substantially enough to make it much more accessible to the average consumer.
On Friday, oversupply pushed the price to fishermen down to $2.50 a pound in Maine and $4 in Canada.
…
As the text proceeds, it eventually gets to the reason for this economic and culinary miracle:Global Warming.
” [ Geoff Irvine, executive director of the Lobster Council of Canada ] blames global warming and increasing water temperatures for the current oversupply. The Maine lobsters have come to market a month early, because of the warm spring temperatures, he said. ”
A lobster, or more, in every pot is the gift of Global Warming. An interesting new slide for
Al Gore’s next show.
==============================================================
Of course a warm spring doesn’t prove anything and we should remember that seafood is not climate. OTOH, we’ve been lectured that this warm spring is a likely signature of global warming, so I suppose we can posit a connection.
Now this is really good news....I haven’t had much lobster since ....forever.
That should make the First Mooch happy...and there is no shortage of drawn butter, caviar, and champagne.
Moochelle will be happy......The lobster population will decrease enourmously during this summer break.....

Sounds to me that Geoff Irvine of the Lobster council blamed warn spring temperatures and the author of the article, Francine Kopun, turned that into Global Warming. Which, in and of itself, says a lot.
Of course we have a little problem realizing the earth as a whole is not warming but quite the opposite.
lol...GMTA

And if there had been an unusual delay because of a cold spring, there would have been nary a word.
Pooh. It has to be AGW to provide an excuse for statist meddling and the elimination of economic freedom.
In many ways the Green Economy is nothing more than 21st century mercantilism for the politically connected. If we do not get a handle on that reality, mercantilism will squelch widespread prosperity.
And then it will be visible serfdom.
I can help thin it out if the numbers get too high. I just need some melted butter...

As we all know, global warming is the certain cause of almost any minor aberration in the weather, animal/bird/insect behaviour, and God knows what else – the list seems endless.
So Todd, as there is virtually no real science in ‘climate science’, it is fun to point out the stupid statements and beliefs of the CAGW faithful. It is much less fun to constantly have to decipher and expose the fraudulent practices of the CAGW cult leadership, which include massive data manipulation to ‘prove’ their beliefs – but it has to be done.
If it was not for blogs like WUWT, Jo Nova and Climate Audit, the purveyors of fraudulent ‘climate science’ would never have been exposed. I find that thought totally scary.
Is that lobster trying to mate with a high rise?
All right up there with prime rib.///but healtier.
Friend of mine was in Maine last week. He said that lobster was cheaper than bologna!
“Lobster is no Trash to my taste buds....nor is Shrimp or Salmon.”
Same with me! But I cannot stand Tuna!
I’ll share the butter with you.
Corn prices are jumping...so chicken and beef is gonna go up.
Cornbelt needs rain....
My appetite is up,....I am out of here...maybe my local sinwe will have salmon today....back later.
Yes, I LOVE lobster. Have only had a few bites of it in MANY years. Will be in MA and CT in a couple months. Maybe we’ll be able to afford a lobster dinner or two. (and some fried clam strips)
