The Spin

Narrative A

The extreme weather of this marine heatwave shows the destructive power of human-caused climate change. If this continues throughout the summer, many species of marine life off the coasts of Ireland and England may die.

Narrative B

While hot waters off the coasts of Ireland and England may lead to marine life die-offs, they may also potentially cause an influx of basking sharks and stingrays. The marine ecosystem may adjust but there is a possibility of more biodiversity being brought into the region as patterns shift.
