Hybrid Sharks and Climate Change

A new type of shark has been discovered off the coast of Australia. The shark is the world's first "hybrid" shark. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break down this discovery and Cenk goes off on an evolution rant. Does global warming have anything to do with this example of evolution?

The butchery of evolutionary theory and climate change brought to you by TYT... Embarrassing.

@Demarcoa Thats a simple wikipedia definition :P

But thanks. :)

@MyTemporaryAccount88 That is not how evolution works. Hybrids are not how specification works. 1 species become 2 because of environmental changes. 2 become 4, 4 become 8 and so on.

@ZKoftherebellion Global warming is not a liberal doctrine, however liberals believe it because it fits in with their general world view. Conservatives don't believe it for the same reason. However the fact that the earth is heating up is a fact. The BEST study which was in part funded by the Koch brothers, proves the earth has been heating up.

The earth is warmer now then back in the medieval times. CO2 is at record levels and so is temp. It is a fact.

Thumbed up because I found it funny, even though the discussed science was bad.

Actually, humans have already adapted to different temperatures. Usually, the closer a population lives to the equator, the darker their skin is to shield against the sun. People from warmer climates tend to have bigger noses and less fat under their skin. Of course these don't always work. It seems like humans are actually rather slow to evolve. But, if we're gonna evolve due to climate change and such, I figure people will just all be black in the future.

[ZKoftherebellion]

the fallacy with liberal doctrine is that they dismiss the past as irrelevant. Not only in terms of politics but with the environment. They make Global warming out as the doomsday. It might shock them to know back in 900-1400 ad, a similar warming happened only, get this, humanity saw a period of growth and prosperity! If anything we should be thanking them for helping us, as this could be the thing humanity needs to get its economy back and running.

Photosynthesis metabolises all available carbon dioxide from the air

adaptation, evolution, mutation is all the same thing you fuckers.

they all fall under the theory of "survival of the fittest."

[nahtalya]

The lack of understanding of evolution is astounding. The guy behind the scenes seems more knowledgable. It's a mistake to think climate change isn't a concern because individuals better adapted to climate change will survive and form new species. Evolution occurs over long time periods, and because climate change is rapid, organisms are unable to adapt. That's why climate change IS a concern, evolution will not "save" life as we currently know it, and we must act to reduce our impact.

2 different sharks fucked, a hybrid baby was born, evolution.

It doesn't have to be more complex than "individuals like to fuck, & the offspring is a blend of two individuals". I mean if 2 ants in the same hive fucked what'd that do? They all got the same DNA.
