Ocean acidification set to spiral out of control

SciDevNet: The continued release of greenhouse gases into the air is set to bring about huge changes to land ecosystems as they are forced to adapt to rising temperatures. But the marine world which is just as integral to human existence yet receives little attention during climate negotiations will endure a similarly tumultuous time as emissions rise, scientists say. "Changing oceans will cause massive destruction of coral reefs, which, with their rich biodiversity, are the jungles of the sea," says...

Ocean acidification putting marine life in jeopardy, scientists warn
2013-11-17 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CTV: Scientists are warning that the world's oceans are becoming acidic at an unprecedented rate, which could have a detrimental impact on marine life and the hundreds of millions of people who depend on fishing for their livelihoods. In a report released Friday, scientists said since the start of the industrial revolution, rising carbon dioxide levels have led to a 26 per cent increase in the acidity of the ocean. Oceans have historically absorbed about a quarter of all carbon dioxide released...

Pacific Ocean warming faster than it has in 10,000 years, study finds

LA Times: Scientists have struggled to explain a recent slowdown in the rise of global surface temperatures while skeptics have seized on the 15-year lull to cast doubt on the science of climate change. A new study offers one explanation of where much of the heat trapped by greenhouse gas emissions is going: the ocean. Scientists found that parts of the Pacific Ocean are absorbing heat faster than they have over the past 10,000 years. The results, published Friday in the journal Science, suggest seawater...

Study to focus on Arctic after Greenland Sea found have warmed 10 times faster than global ocean
2013-11-02 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Scientists have revealed plans to examine temperature changes in the Arctic Ocean after a long-term study found the Greenland Sea is warming 10 times faster than the global ocean. Scientists from Germany's Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) analysed temperature data from the Greenland Sea between 1950 and 2010. Their results show that during the past 30 years water temperatures between two kilometres deep and the ocean floor have risen by 0.3 degrees Celsius. Dr Raquel Somavilla Cabrillo, AWI...
