Oceans slowed global temperature rise, until now

2015-07-17 03:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

ScienceDaily: A new study of ocean temperature measurements shows that in recent years, extra heat from greenhouse gases has been trapped in the subsurface waters of the Pacific and Indian oceans, thus accounting for the slowdown in the global surface temperature increase observed during the past decade, researchers say. A specific layer of the Indian and Pacific oceans between 300 and 1,000 feet below the surface has been accumulating more heat than previously recognized, according to climate researchers from...

Scientists say warming seas kill off coral reefs Pacific, Atlantic oceans

2015-07-07 06:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Guadian: Abnormally warm ocean temperatures are creating conditions that threaten to kill coral in the equatorial Pacific, north Pacific and western Atlantic oceans, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said on Monday. Coral bleaching occurs when coral is stressed by changes in its environment, causing it to release algae living in its tissue. The coral then turns pale or white and becomes more susceptible to disease. In severe cases, it can die, permanently changing the habitat for fish...

The oceans cant take any more: Fundamental change in oceans predicted

2015-07-03 21:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

ScienceDaily: Our oceans need an immediate and substantial reduction of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. If that doesn't happen, we could see far-reaching and largely irreversible impacts on marine ecosystems, which would especially be felt in developing countries. That's the conclusion of a new review study published today in the journal Science. In the study, the research team from the Ocean 2015 initiative assesses the latest findings on the risks that climate change poses for our oceans, and demonstrates...

Global warming likely damaged oceans permanently

2015-07-03 20:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

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...

Study: worlds oceans facing irreversible damage without climate action

2015-07-03 12:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Blue and Green: Unless ambitious action is taken to reduce carbon emissions the worlds oceans are facing dangerous and irreversible impact that could affect seafood supply, according to a new study. The report, which has been published in the journal Science, evaluated and compared two scenarios under two potential carbon dioxide emission pathways over this century. While both scenarios carry high risks to vulnerable species, a business-as-usual scenario was projected to be devastating and have a high impact...
