i was reading a local newspaper today that covered the latest shark attack.
In it was mentioned that there has been a sudden huge increase in shark sightings and that the sharks are bigger too.
These big sharks are 'normally' found in colder water closer to the antarctic.
Nobody seems to know why they suddenly turn up so close to shore.

bringing colder water to the Australian east coast together with the sharks that live and feed in it?
just a thought

(mods , please move this to earth changes if it fits better there)

all the worlds currents are connected--http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/climate-change/found-missing-link-of-the-worlds-ocean-currents-461763.html...so does the slowing of the golf stream cause a change in the current that circles the antarctic?Currents flow in complex patterns affected by wind, the water's salinity and heat content, bottom topography, and the earth's rotation.Cold surface currents come from polar and temperate latitudes, and they tend to flow towards the equator. Like the warm surface currents, they are driven mainly by atmospheric forces
