Scientists have identified tropical plankton living in the arctic ocean. This is a definitive sign of global warming, suggesting that the once frigid water is now warm enough for tropical organisms to live in. Now the question is, what will be next? Which will be the next tropical creatures to migrate to a once arctic climate? And will the creatures who have adapted to the cold be able to adapt to a warmer climate as the world rapidly warms? And finally how will the influx of traditionally warm climate creatures affect the native creatures of the arctic?
I think this is a really interesting development in the global warming debate. It makes great points and might sway those who do not believe global warming is a problem to think differently. Hopefully people start taking these things seriously, seeing as we only have one Earth.
