New sharks coming to UK as temperatures rise (aquatic travel) - C C - Jul 18, 2018

EXCERPT: Research from the University of Southampton suggests new kinds of shark could migrate to UK waters as the oceans warm. Dr Ken Collins, from the university's National Oceanography Centre, says 10 species of shark currently found in warmer parts of the world could inhabit our seas by 2050 because of climate change. Here, we profile some of the species that could become a familiar fixture in coming decades. (INCLUDED: Great hammerhead; Blacktip shark; Bronze whaler shark; Oceanic whitetip; Sand tiger)

This is the kind of non-news that brings joy to people like Syne (no criticism intended - just as it is). Maybe plastic bags will have killed the lot of them. Maybe they'll all have gone into shark fin soup. Maybe, maybe, maybe.
The only acual data that might affect Syne is here:-

(am I wrong?). By the time children leaving school now are my age it will 520ppm of CO2.
Good thing, bad thing or nothing?
