AlJazeera Newshour story: Tropical fish species are migrating due to ocean warming.

Gleaning from the story, about 1500 species are starting to migrate to cooler waters. It is from a US government report. Why don’t we see this on our news????

Where did you want to see it? On the local news between the Weather & Sports?

It will probably be in the A section of the NYT tomorrow, but that's not Tee Vee.
