[NEWS] By examining rocks at the bottom of ancient oceans, an international group of researchers have revealed that arsenic concentrations in the oceans have varied greatly over time. But also that in the very early oceans, arsenic co-varied with the rise of atmospheric oxygen and coincided with the coming and going of global glaciations. The study was recently published in the Nature Group Journal, Scientific Reports. “In the article we argue that when we first …

Failing phytoplankton, failing oxygen: Global warming disaster could suffocate life on planet Earth

ScienceDaily: Falling oxygen levels caused by global warming could be a greater threat to the survival of life on planet Earth than flooding, according to researchers from the University of Leicester. A study led by Sergei Petrovskii, Professor in Applied Mathematics from the University of Leicester's Department of Mathematics, has shown that an increase in the water temperature of the world's oceans of around six degrees Celsius -- which some scientists predict could occur as soon as 2100 -- could stop oxygen...

Age: Micah Puia lives in a shanty town on a dirty beach in Honiara, the capital of the Solomon Islands. He is 11 years old, and has lived here all his life. He sleeps in a raised fibro hut with his grandparents and several cousins, attends second grade at a local school and swims in the mouth of the Mataniko River, alongside the community's cotes of pigs and chooks, and where the waterway dumps into the Pacific Ocean. According to some here, Micah has spent his whole life as a climate change refugee....
