If it were a sunfish belonging to a species living in the Atlantic, it could have been that the pair trapped itself when travelling into the Skagerrak and Kattegat. We have seen rare events of other big fishes and wahles not belonging to the Baltic. But if the sunfishes belonged indeed, as they claim, to a species living in tropical waters only, then this means "warm" waters, and then you have top explain why they swam thousands of kilomters through waters that were "too cold" for them.

The stranding of whales and dolphins does not compare to this, it usually is not attributed to warming temperatures in the ocean, but due to underwater sound pollution, shallow beaches, virusses, and the leading animal having become insane and the others following their leader, the thepries are many with sound pollution being the most prominent one. We do not know for sure, but the indications for sound pollution seem to be the strongest by far. That means not only sonar, but for the most it means propellers and engines. Sonar seem to be a problem not in polluting the envrinonment constantly, but by hurting and doing physical damage to the animals' brain, sonar apparatus, and other tissues.
