Temperatures are rising everyday. Our country has experienced one of the warmest winters ever this year. How is the Marine life coping with these temperatures? Most scientists say that the ocean's climate rises three times slower than land but an article from http://www.oceanpowermagazine.net/2011/11/04/climate-shift-could-leave-some-marine-species-homeless/ contradicts this statement.

Marine species are having to speed up life events,such as breeding because of the quickly rising temperatures.They are thrown out of their usual routines.Even slight changes in temperature will cause marine species to have to move hundreds of kilometers to get into a comfortable zone. This could be detrimental for simpler organisms such as corals. Could we help these animals survive,do we care? Is Global warming the cause of these drastic temperature changes?
