ScienceDaily: The Pacific Ocean along the West Coast serves as a model for how other areas of the ocean could respond in coming decades as the climate warms and emission of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide increases. This region -- the coastal ocean stretching from British Columbia to Mexico -- provides an early warning signal of what to expect as ocean acidification continues and as low-oxygen zones expand. Now, a panel of scientists from California, Oregon and Washington has examined the dual impacts of...

Climate Change will Reduce Population of Many Marine Organisms by 2100, Researchers Say
2013-12-31 15:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Researchers are expecting to see a huge decline in the population of marine creatures that dwell on the ocean surface by the next century. According to estimates by a team of researchers led by National Oceanography Center scientists, the number of marine creatures in North Atlantic will decrease by about 38 percent. Around the world, at least five percent of these organisms will vanish due to climate changes. The team has also said that creatures living in the remotest regions of the ocean...
