Frozen Gulf sharks 'news' hoax, officials say. Tall tale interests scientists. (Videos)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Big Energy pays Big Bucks for Global Warming propaganda 

UPDATE JAN 30 11:00 A.M. EST

The 150 Gulf of Mexico frozen beached sharks tale is a hoax, according to Mississippi  Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, that responded to Deborah Dupré’s verifation request.

“Well, like a lot of things on the internet you have to take it with a grain of salt,” Tom Holman with the states Wildlife and Fisheries said in an email to Before It’s News.

Holman gave three points about the hoax, saying the story is “questionable.”

“The surface temps around Biloxi were in the low 50s yesterday,” he wrote.

Not only that, he wrote, “The shark in the photo appears to have been photoshopped.”

“Finally, the Mississippi Dept of Wildlife [Fisheries and Parks] does not have an employee named Matt Shepherd”. 

What’s not questionable, however, is that Big Energy polluters’s Big Bucks spread anti-global warming propaganda. It’s worth it to them. It serves their New World Order interests well. It furthers the NWO agenda for the public to disbelieve global warming science and remain dependent on fossil fuels rather than be independent with renewable energy.

Dependency on NWO entities makes it easier to control the masses, and a lot of money is funneled to ensure just this.

“By pouring money into bogus scientific studies and funding third parties, such as Think Tanks and Front Groups — posing as everything from Seniors groups to Women’s groups – the public is led to believe a genuine scientific debate is raging.”

Trolls monopolize comment sections under articles and infiltrators disrupt local meetings and other events.

In fact, almost one billion dollars a year is pumped into organizations that exist solely to refute science for Big Energy polluters and destroyers of humanity.

“An examination of these data shows that these 91 CCCM (climate change counter-movement)  organizations have an annual income of just over $900 million, with an annual average of $64 million in identifiable foundation support,” reads a Drexel University research report.

The overwhelming majority of philanthropic support is from conservative foundations. Evidence also exists of a trend to conceal sources of CCCM funding by using donor directed philanthropies, the study shows.

“In truth, as one climate denier candidly admits, those doubting the science are just a small, if brilliantly coordinated, minority,” says Taki Oldham, the Australian filmmaker of the video below. 

Australian filmmaker Taki Oldham incorporated footage from his 55 min. documentary, The Billionaires’ Tea Party (2011)Tto produce the video below, The Koch Brothers & Their Amazing Climate Change Denial Machine.

 

Dupré’s original story posted Jan. 30, 2014 7:00 A.M.

 

“Don’t touch the frozen sharks,” wildlife experts are telling people this morning along Gulf Coast beaches. “They’re alive!”

An unverified report by Rocky Times claims over 150 frozen sharks are on beaches across the Gulf Coast region this week due to Winter Storm “Leon” that hit the Deep South with a vengeance Tuesday, according to wildlife officials.

This story and other frigid condition stories this week have created a fun fest for global warming deniers. 

The largest area of concentration of frozen sharks seems to be around Gulfport, Mississippi, where at least 67 of the frozen animals are on the shore.

Sharks migrate to this area during the winter and were caught off guard by the most severe winter storm in several decades, wild life officials say.

Letting Georgia’s governor off the hook so to speak, Mississippi Department of Wildlife spokesperson Matt Shepherd said, “Like many of us, I suspect the sharks did not believe that the area would actually receive any winter weather.”

Georgia’s Governor Nathan Deal called this week’s storm “unexpected,” his excuse for the botched emergency response in Atlanta Tuesday and thus putting thousands of people, including bus loads of children, in harm’s way.

“It is like a Shark-slushy out there,” Sheperd said. “The animals all appear to be alive, so please do not approach any frozen sharks. They will probably thaw later in the week and swim back out into the gulf.”

He says to expect more of them on the shore as temperatures continue dropping across the region.

Officials hope poor driving conditions will keep away rubbernecks and people who might approach the sharks.

“Sharks are remarkably adaptable,” he said, explainign they’vee entered a hibernation like state while frozen.”

Not only that, they could be cranky when they awake.

“They can come out of this state and will become incredibly irritated and possibly violent due to the extreme cold surrounding their body. We have already seen one fatality from an individual trying to take a selfie with a frozen shark. We hope to recover his head later this week.”

The wildlife expert was apparently referring to the head of the shark, not the human intruder.

“Would someone explain global warming to these sharks?” asks online Liberal Forum Political Chat, ignoring scientific factual explanations for this winter’s harsh freezes across the United States.

Another online conservative website Conservative Hideout 2.0 sarcastically says more:

“As much of the US is in the deep freeze due to global warming, animals all over the world are being quick frozen!  That’s right, not only is global warming making it colder, it’s getting so cold that animal life is being frozen in place.  Because, as we all know, global warming makes it cold!”

The Mississippi Department of Wildlife was unavailable to respond to this reporter’s request for information about the report of frozen sharks. Stay tuned here for more information as it comes in directly from that department.

      Get back to us when it’s really hot and your house is under a mile of ice. Oxymoron central.

      I’m on the Gulf Coast in MS & didn’t see a one. Guess they were taken away by all the UFOs & were transports to Nibiru!

      • Deborah Dupre

        Thanks. Just verified this isl a hoax. Google 140 frozen sharks to see the number of pages oof this story being lapped up by climate change deniers fostering NWO’s deadly agenda.

    • Paul Brown

      Hilarious. I hope the global warming deniers are brought to justice someday for slowing our response to this most important threat. Prepare for more violent weather events as the planetary currents and winds are modified due to global warming, and check out the information on climate denial at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_denial.
      Keep safe.

    • Don't be hating!

      Is all a front so we can CHEER these criminals on doing their job…How much DRUGS does the US smuggle in our country. Let alone the money they make to fund TERRORIST and WARS! Drug cartels are all politically in the know…SCARFACE ring a bell?

      • Deborah Dupre

        Great points Don’t. Glad you brought them up here. War on Terror, War on Drugs, Frozen Gulf… all a hoax as much as frozen Gulf sharks.

    • DIgnified

      The whole “global warming” being rebranded as “climate change” is a pretty big goalpost move.

      “We said the climate would change. Look, now there’s snow in Atlanta”

      “No, you said it would get hotter and drown us all in polar ice cap water. In a general ‘global warming.’ What you said and what’s happening are two different things. Opposite, like warm and cold.’

      “Racist!”

      • Deborah Dupre

        Thank you for reading this and commenting. Your response is very important in that it represents what many misunderstand: a very basic aspect of “global warming” and “climate change.”

        The one thing that keeps creeping around in these discussions is the confusion between weather and climate. We cannot due justice to this topic without understanding that vast difference. Please do a little homework on this and also see ***how*** global warming has impacted the polar vortex.
