Nature World News: Adding to the list of environmental hazards associated with rising global temperatures is a shift in the ocean's natural chemical changes, a paper published in the journal Nature Climate Change showed. A rise in ocean temperatures -- a byproduct of rising atmospheric temperatures -- will upset the ocean's cycles of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and phosphorus, the study found. The reason, according to the researchers, has to do with the effect of water temperature on phytoplankton, the microscopic...
