Rainbow sea slug sighting linked to climate change

Original: Rainbow sea slug find a reminder of climate change

A rainbow sea slug has been found, and experts say the colourful Mediterranean species appearing further north is a warning sign of warming seas. The slug, usually found in warmer waters, is increasingly spotted in places where it was once absent, which marine observers read as evidence of shifting sea temperatures caused by climate change.

Why now: The unusual sighting of a warm-water species in new areas is being taken as a visible sign of climate change.
