Aus News 21: Climate prompts fish move

The erratic climate change has caused one third of the coastal fish in Australia to move territory. The rising sea temperature is assisting the warm-water species like the rock blackfish to expand their population and become more abundant. However, the cool-water species are struggling, and 19 Tasmanian species are declining dramatically and facing extinction. This is because they can't sustain in the warmer condition and have nowhere to escape. A research found out that southeast Australia was a climate change hotspot, with the sea temperature rising by almost two degrees in certain areas.

Comment:
Animals are getting endangered with rising temperature. This issue seems trivial, but it is a true fact that is happening nowadays. It should be seen as a warning before a more severe impact coming in. Everyone of us has contributed to the climate change, and it not only affects our daily lives, but also others like the innocent animals. Hence, it is our responsibility to bring it back to the norm. Holding campaigns with no positive responses from the society itself is never sufficient. Environmental programs with no practical actions will just put all the efforts in vain. Concisely, cooperation from all parties is the key to curb, or at least reduce the ramification of this erratic climate change.
