Ocean Acidification Poses Threat to Wide Range of Animal Life, Study Shows
2013-08-26 22:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: As the ocean continues to grow more acidic, many marine animals will face negative consequences, though to varying degrees due to differences in bodily functions, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change. The world's oceans are responsible for absorbing more than a quarter of the carbon dioxide emitted through human activity, thus acting as a stabilizing force for the Earth's global temperatures. However, such storage is not limitless nor without its consequences....
Ocean Acidification Could Amplify Global Warming, Study Says

Yale Environment 360: The increasing acidification of the worlds oceans caused by rising concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide not only poses a threat to marine creatures, but also could lead to an intensification of planetary warming, according to a new study. A team of U.S., British, and German researchers conducted experiments in seawater enclosures, known as mesocosms, showing that the increasing acidification of the ocean leads to a drop in production of an important sulfur compound, dimethylsulphide, or...
Ocean Acidification Will Make Climate Change Worse

Time: Given that they cover 70% of the Earth`s surface--and provide about 90% of the planet`s habitable space by volume--the oceans tend to get short shrift when it comes to climate change. The leaked draft of the forthcoming coming new report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change highlighted the atmospheric warming we`re likely to see, the rate of ice loss in the Arctic and the unprecedented (at least within the last 22,000 years) rate of increase of concentrations of greenhouse gases like...
Unprecedented ocean acidification putting Canadian waters at risk
2013-08-07 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Gazette: Canadas Atlantic waters may be particularly vulnerable to increased carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere that are causing unprecedented acidification of the planets oceans, says a report by scientists at the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Quoting from numerous scientific publications, the government report, posted on a website without a formal announcement or news release, noted that the worlds oceans have absorbed a significant amount of carbon dioxide emissions from the atmosphere...

Ocean acidification research cruise to set sail next week
2013-07-26 17:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: The waters off the Pacific Northwest are becoming more acidic, making life more difficult for the animals that live there, especially oysters and the approximately 3,200 people employed in the shellfish industry. Researchers from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) will set sail Monday (July 29) on a monthlong research cruise off the U.S. and Canadian West Coast to see how ocean acidification is affecting the chemistry of the ocean waters and the area's sea life. ...
