Nature Takes the Blame for Humans...Again

Hey, what do you know? Yet another case of humans hungrily and eagerly consuming the convenient lie of blaming nature for problems we created.  This time, we look to the ocean. 

Orcas were blamed for South Africa's most iconic ocean animal, the great white shark, switching from argubly the densest population on the planet to disappearing altogether.  As if this was the first time white sharks had ever dealt with orcas.  But that wasn't ludicrous enough...it wasn't just orcas, but even blaming the entire disappearance on only two specific orcas.

For years a handful of activists and scientists screamed the truth of the situation, but Shark Week, news outlets, and even opportunistic scientists, eagerly climbed aboard the blame boat for this one.  
​
Finally, now that it's likely too late, people are finally listening to scientists on the other side of the argument. Presenting his data for the first time to the internet crowd, Dr. Enrico Gennari shares his work on Skyler Thomas's podcast.
