Ocean rubbish bin invented

Have you ever been in the Ocean and got really annoyed because of the rubbish?

Some surfers have invented a sea rubbish bin which floats on the surface of the sea.

It helps the surfers and marine life such as turtles, whales, dolphins and sea birds. All these animals are at risk due to so much rubbish in the sea.

The inventors hope the bin can protect the environment. Studies show that an average eight million tonnes of rubbish are thrown into the sea every year.

 

 

 


Fish addicted to potato chips

A fish, that should be grey in colour, has turned an unusual shade of pink after becoming addicted to prawn cocktail flavoured chips.

Gerty, the giant Gourami fish, was secured from her previous owner by the Sea Life Aquarium in London.

Aquarium workers were worried when Gerty refused to eat the food they fed her, before they found out about the unusual snack her previous owner used to feed her.

Gourami fish traditionally eat fruit and veggies. Gerty, does not seem to be affected by the unhealthy diet apart from her odd colour change.

Gerty is now on a strict diet, with no chips!


2015,the hottest year

Scientists said that 2015 was the hottest year ever recorded.

Data from NASA showed that in 2015, the average temperature was 90°C - above the 20th century average.

The worrying trend is that 2014 temperatures had also been above the average.

Another alarming fact was that the temperature in December was the highest on record for any month in the 136-year records taken.

The 2015 data highlights the need to cut greenhouse gas emissions if the world is to maintain temperature increases below 2°C, the target agreed upon by over 190 countries at climate talks in Paris.
