This Year’s Puffin Scary Story – Will It Work?

From telegram:
Every year we get this silly story, created by climate alarm scientists, funded, and every time gullible reporters fail to check the facts.
Of course, keep in mind that it is always “MAY” and “MAY”!
The Atlantic puffer fish in Europe stretches from the far north pole to the north of France.
In the UK, puffer fish are thriving off the coast of Pembrokeshire, on the islands of Skomer and Skokholm. In terms of puffer fish numbers, the former has skyrocketed over the past decade.
And last year, ITV reported that the population on both islands was the highest since the 1940s, when there was a dramatic drop:
This April, Wales online reported that the number of Skomer Island this year found 38896 puffins.
There is no evidence that climate change has any effect on puffer fish.
What we certainly know best is that industrial fishing, especially in the North Sea, is affecting them:
New research led by the BTO shows that the UK’s internationally important seabird populations are being affected by fishing activities in the North Sea. The level of seabird reproductive failure is higher in years when a greater proportion of the North Sea hornbill, an important seabird prey, is caught commercially.
But surely like the clock, those same stupid reporters will publish the same fake news next year.
