If you can't stand the heat...
A big piece in today's Guardian publicises a report from the Marine Biology Association revealing the significant effects climate change and the warming of our oceans is having on marine life.
After a four year study, and by then comparing the results with records from the 1950s, scientists found that some marine species adapted to cold water were migrating away from the warming shoreline. Indeed, some life, like the tortoiseshell limpet has now almost completely disappeared.
With computer models predicting that the pace of change is set to increase, the effects on marine biodiversity will only be exaggerated.
Is it just me, or should we not be doing a whole heck of a lot more to stop this?
