Why didn't "The Ocean" do this before? Did it need Teh Obamessiah to tell it its' role in all this?

It may have, we just did not keep close tabs of the worlds temperatures back 200 years ago.
On the east coast we have species moving north that are strange and invasive, some come by ships bilges and others like the Asian Carp in the Great lakes likely by human interference. They adjust to our climate and drive us nuts.
12 years ago the alligators were coming north through the Inland water way. One was found 15 miles from VA. Beach. Headed north are those Gigantic shrimp still down around SC. but still hundreds of miles from their normal habitat.
Not one year goes by that I don't find some new strange plant in my yard that gets here one way or the other. A good year for the Maine fishermen to find some very strange mutations in the Lobsters.
What was once found once every 2-3 years has now produced at least 3 in Maine and a couple more on the New England Coast.
Scientist are working 24/7 to find out what is going on but even if they find out, it cannot be stopped.
It is nice to have answers to weird stuff but as humans it is better to learn to adapt to the changes then try to stop or control that what is natural progression of the cycles of the earth.
Airwolf, this is good news for the Polar Bears, seals and whales that mate up there. All the panic when much ice melted, Oh the horror, as if the climate had not changed up there in 5,000 years.
