This is an Interesting article that links a crash in bird and sea life in the Pacific NW to rising ocean temperatures caused by global warming. But something seems a little fishy (if you’ll excuse the expression). They cite a 7 C rise in temperatures above normal. Now that’s a huge leap way beyond anything that global warming has been associated with. We need to understand whether this is really part of a long range global phenomenon or a quite different short term event. Unfortunately we won’t get that kind of in depth analysis from the Herald.
