Not so fast with the global warming propaganda. We've also seen an unusually large influx of siskin from Eastern Europe due to cold conditions out there and also early arrivals of pink footed geese from Greenland, also due to exceptionally cold conditions.
These particular jellyfish swarm every ten years or so and it has nothing to do global warming.
hmmm .. north east coast of ireland and blown *down* by northerly winds (according to Times). Mr Alex Salmon ought to be worried about the west coast fish farms?
Nothing to do with global warning.
Al-Qeada is training animals as a terror weapon.
Once the jellyfish have established a bridgehead in Ireland and cut off our retreat, the siskins and pink foots will attack in a pincer movement.
When will Gordon realise the danger!
Or it could just be a normal occurance, but hardly likely.
The following is from the BBC climate change website:

...the term climate change is generally used when referring to changes in our climate which have been identified since the early part of the 1900's. The changes we've seen over recent years and those which are predicted over the next 80 years are thought to be mainly as a result of human behaviour rather than due to natural changes in the atmosphere.

I read that to mean global warming. How do you read it?
Generally accepted that the effects of manmade emissions will be an overall warming, but that there will be increased instability, more frequent occurrence of extreme events, more records (highest/lowest, wettest/driest, etc) being broken.
Because the climate is such a complex beast, a change in one parameter can cause many other changes. One favourite disasterist theory is that global warming will melt arctic ice, causing oceanic cooling, which will divert the gulf stream, pulling colder arctic air down over the UK, so that eventually we suffer cooling, rather than warming, here. Who knows.
That will be Bin Laden, they have a pond in the New Forest specially designed for brain-washing suicide jelly fish, then they let them loose into the civilised world !
