Global warming likely damaged oceans permanently

WPTV: What would it take to save the oceans? Thirty percent of atmospheric carbon dioxide is absorbed by the worlds oceans, and the authors of a new study say we need to focus on these ecosystems before its too late. (Video via CBS) An international team of researchers published evidence Friday that suggests preventing permanent damage to the oceans would require immediate and substantial cuts to worldwide carbon emissions. The Copenhagen Accord, which calls for drastic emissions cuts all over the...

Global warming may threaten shellfish industries

ScienceDaily: Climate change models predict that sea temperatures will rise significantly, including in the tropics. In these areas, rainfall is also predicted to increase, reducing the salt concentration of the surface layer of the sea. Together, these changes would dramatically affect the microscopic communities of bacteria and plankton that inhabit the oceans, impacting species higher up the food chain. Worryingly, future conditions may favour disease-causing bacteria and plankton species which produce toxins,...

Global Warming Threatens Colder Climate for Europe

Climate News: Scientists have yet again warned that weakening ocean circulation in the North Atlantic could deliver a climate paradox-a colder Europe as a consequence of global warming. A study published in Nature Climate Change found that as sea ice off Iceland and Greenland retreats, the flow of cold, dense water to the bottom of the North Atlantic ocean could be reduced, and therefore weaken the warming effects of the Gulf Stream. The great submarine current-sometimes called the Atlantic Conveyor-flows...

Polar bears will die out if global warming is not reversed, US report finds

Independent: Polar bears will be wiped out if humans don't reverse the trend of global warming, according to a blunt report by the US goverment. In a draft recovery plan for polar bears produced by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, it says: "The single most important step for polar bear conservation is decisive action to address Arctic warming." "Short of action that effectively addresses the primary cause of diminishing sea ice, it is unlikely that polar bears will be recovered." Polar bears eat, mate and...
Fish will have to find new habitats or perish if global warming is left unchecked
2015-07-02 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Climate change is forcing fish out of their current habitats and into cooler waters and many more species will soon be affected if climate goals are not met, say scientists. An international team of researchers compared the future of the oceans under two climate change scenarios. In one scenario, we limit atmospheric warming to two degrees by 2100, as outlined by the Copenhagen accord. In the other, we continue with the current approach, which researchers say would cause a…
