Fish species are expected to shrink in size by up to 24% because of global warming, say scientists.
Researchers modelled the impact of rising temperatures on more than 600 species between 2001 and 2050.
Warmer waters could decrease ocean oxygen levels and significantly reduce fish body weight.
The scientists argue that failure to control greenhouse gas emissions will have a greater impact on marine ecosystems than previously thought.

I just knew I wasn't a lousy fisherman for never getting big fish, it was global warming all along...

Depends on the fish. Some fish grow larger in warm water and some grow larger in cold water.

No biggie really.
Just last week we read climate change was making penis’ smaller, the two sorta cancel each other out.

The Environuts and the “Glo-bull Warming” mantra are relentless. Their theories are debunked, but they charge forward with more and more bizarre theories. My favorite is how man's activities have caused problems on Mars! Mars? What a reach that one is.

So .... That’s what happened.

This is satire
BBC’s “reader” Matt McCrath is now doing satire for the BBC Because this presentation certainly doesn’t cite authors, institution, and the grant money they received for this pseudo scientific study.

This is basic physics. The water is warmer and thus expands. As the water displays more biggerness, the fish suffer by comparison and their biggerness is compromised by the bad humors of the enlarged water. All of this is easily corrected by an animal sacrifice made at a lava pool. If you haven't a lava pool, a hot tub will suffice. If you haven't a hot tub, we are all DOOMED!
