For now the real climate-change refugees may be living not above sea level but below it. Researchers at the University of British Columbia have found that, since 1970, stocks of some fish species have gradually been moving towards the world’s colder regions (see article). In the Pacific Ocean some marine creatures are moving southward towards Antarctica at an average 7km (4.4 miles) a year, which may well affect the peoples of the tropical Pacific. The world’s fish stocks, it seems, are heralding a migration that may one day occur above the seas too.
