So says veteran Nessie-hunter Robert Rines. After 37 years on the job, he’s throwing in the towel, citing his old age and the probability that the Loch Ness Monster is dead, a victim of global warming.

How about that. Global warming getting an endorsement from cryptozoology’s finest. Signs that climate skeptics have lost the debate…

Or a desperate — ah, convenient — attempt to publicly save face after spending a lifetime chasing fiction. As remove.net states:

There’s some kind of cruel irony going on when someone blames not being able to find something mythical, on something mythical.

(Alarmists note: I am assuming that Rines is referring to man-made global warming.)
