Problem is, when any scientists notices a problem who&#8217;s cause can&#8217;t be immediately explained, anthropogenic global warming is the fall-back position. Google &#8220;bee rapture&#8221; or &#8220;deformed frogs&#8221;, both of which were initially blamed on global warming, but have since been shown to have completely unrelated causes. And it gets worse than that. Some scientists purposely want to pin the blame of anything and everything on global warming.
