Remember the Marxist motto: "By any means necessary." Lies told to advance world socialism are simply an example of the end justifying the means (in their warped minds).
>>Is there anything that happens that is not blamed on global warming?
I’ve seen a fairly comprehensive list someone put together of all the things blamed on global warming, and the short answer to your question is a very emphatic NO!
Hah, I’d forgotten about Esmerelda.
Wow, what stunning scientific insight!
If they eat sea lions or sea lions eat them, maybe it’s not a bad thing.
Eat some here:

There used to be a restaurant in San Francisco named Squids. I ate there one time. I think it’s out of business now.
More info about the big ones here: See also: Cephalopod size
Giant squid measuring over 4 metres without its two long feeding tentacles.The giant squid is the second largest mollusc and the second largest of all extant invertebrates. It is only exceeded in size by the Colossal Squid, Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, which may have a mantle nearly twice as long. Several extinct cephalopods, such as the Cretaceous vampyromorphid Tusoteuthis and the Ordovician nautiloid Cameroceras may have grown even larger.
Yet, giant squid size, particularly total length, has often been misreported and exaggerated. Reports of specimens reaching and even exceeding 18 m (59 ft) in length are widespread, but no animals approaching this size have been scientifically documented. According to giant squid expert Dr. Steve O’Shea, such lengths were likely achieved by greatly stretching the two tentacles like elastic bands.[3]
Based on the examination of 105 specimens and of beaks found inside sperm whales, giant squid’s mantles are not known to exceed 2.25 m (7.4 ft) in length.[3] Including the head and arms, but excluding the tentacles, the length very rarely exceeds 5 m (16 ft).[3] Maximum total length, when measured relaxed post mortem, is estimated at 13 m (43 ft) for females and 10 m (33 ft) for males from caudal fin to the tip of the two long tentacles.[3] Giant squid exhibit reverse sexual dimorphism. Maximum weight is estimated at 275 kg (606 lb) for females and 150 kg (331 lb) for males.[3]
Yes, surprisingly many things are blamed on George W. Bush.
Can you believe it?!
Thanx!

I was thinking about taking a melon-baller to them and sauteeing up some ‘scallops’ in lemon-butter-garlic.
Check the Warmlist link at #29.
Good for Lawrence Solomon, he’ll be branded as a fraud by Gore and his moonbats but that’s a good thing.
There was a controversy a while back where some restaurants in New York were doing exactly that with skate. They cut the meat to look like scallops and sold them as scallops.
That’s the one!
Pretty amazing.
“Also known as Humboldt squid, they’ve typically been found off the coast of Mexico, Central America and Peru.”
....more south of the border invasion......
Maybe we can train the sea lions to eat the squid instead of the Salmon!! Get Al Gore on that right away, will ya?
I also took this opportunity to email John a new link, again, for his expired "walrus stampede" link.
I heard many years ago that shark meat was being stamped to look like scallops and being sold, don’t know if it was true.
