if it were true and there was an actual causative correlation.

8 words does not constitute causative correlation. contrary to your thinking, actual research and actual facts are what are required.

Climates shift and change naturally and in some places this may benefit certain species and inhibit others.

Whales and sharks are on the rise for various reasons I would suggest the fact that they are mostly protected these days is the main one, I am all for sustainability.

Most commercial whaling is insignificant compared to the past and no one really wants the product. Outside of that you only have Norwegians and Eskimos knocking them off.

I personally have no issue with whaling if its done sustainably, most whales are less intelligent than pigs which we kill millions of every day. Small scale commercial and traditional I am ok with as long as we use tradition rowing boats (no outboards) and traditional spears (no explosive tip harpoons). I am opposed to the so called Japanese whaling as either research or traditional, pre WII Japan never had any traditional whaling of note.

Because they are protected.....Fish stocks such as tuna are rapidly on the decline.....However this has more to do with over fishing than global warming!!!

Both the ALP and Coalition are advocating a 5% cut in our emissions by 2020!!!

The ALP have implemented a market based policy that is funded by the polluters and is considered the most effective way to achieve the 5% target by 2020 and beyond!!!

The Coalition have proposed a Direct Action policy that is funded by the taxpayer that is considered the most expensive and least effective way to achieve the 5% target by 2020 and beyond!!!

Not to mention the Coalitions policy will not work and is based on faulty assumptions.....No wonder the faithful will not debate the merits of Tony Abbott's crap policy!!!
