A Key Experiment to Probe the Future of Our Acidifying Oceans

Yale Environment 360: The sea urchin is a doughty animal that can withstand cold and turbulent seas, eat almost anything, and defend itself from many predators -- though not human gourmands -- with its pincushion of tough spines. Its one of the creatures that lured biologists to establish one of the worlds first marine research stations in 1877 at Kristineberg on Swedens west coast, for the sheltered Gullmar Fjord there is characterized by deep, cold waters that support a wide array of sea life. That water is still...

LiveScience: Dana Nuccitelli is an environmental scientist at a private environmental consulting firm in the Sacramento, Calif., area and a contributor to Skeptical Science. He contributed this article to LiveScience's Expert Voices: Op-Ed & Insights. Most discussions of global warming focus on the temperature of the air at the Earth's surface, where over the past decade warming has slowed. This has resulted in misleading declarations that global warming has "paused." However, failing to consider the heating...
Climate change affecting height intensity of global oceans waves

International Business Times: A study by Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) has warned that the world's coastline beaches could experience swelling and intense levels and heights of pounding ocean waves due to climate change. Mark Hemer, CSIRO researcher and lead author of the study, said average annual wave heights could increase by as much as half a metre in coming decades as storm frequency and intensity in the Southern Ocean likewise increase. The heightened wave heights...

Global warmth: Oceans are taking it all in

USA Today: The temperature of Earth's atmosphere has been essentially the same for the past decade or so, providing ammunition for skeptics of human-caused climate change. (This despite the fact that of the nine hottest years on record, eight have occurred since 2000, according to the National Climatic Data Center). However, a recent study found that heat absorbed by Earth's oceans has increased significantly over the same period, prompting the study co-authors to say that the warming has been diverted and...
Study: Earth's climate change is heating oceans

USA Today: The temperature of Earths atmosphere has been essentially the same for the past decade or so, providing ammunition for skeptics of human-caused climate change. However, a recent study found that heat absorbed by Earths oceans has increased significantly over the same period, prompting the studys co-authors to say the warming has been diverted and is heating the oceans instead of the atmosphere. The study was published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, a publication of the American...
