The Flimsiest of Connections

I value scientific discovery, the gaining of knowledge, but, at times, I view with incredulity the pronouncements which spew forth from researchers.  Here’s an article which I think stretches a “discovery” to the breaking point.

“Global Warming Raises Stink in Britain." The pertinent data, from the article, including the stretch.

"The discovery of breeding colonies of stinkbugs in London is clear proof that global warming is a fact of life, a scientist said on Friday."

Is that so?  Isn’t it possible that the stinkbugs were simply an invasive species, noticed for the first time, as they were here in the United States as reported by this pdf format article from Rutgers?
