Impacts Global Warming Will Impoverish Oceans
2015-10-14 17:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: Ocean ecosystems and fisheries could be at risk of collapse under the combined assault of global warming and increasingly acid seas. This bleak image of impoverished and increasingly hostile oceans emerges not from any one new study of human impact on the 70% of the planet that is covered by water, but from a long cool look at the big picture so far. Marine biologists Ivan Nagelkerken and Sean Connell, of the University of Adelaide in Australia, report in the Proceedings of the National Academy...

Guardian: From the seas shore, it can be hard to believe that something as vast and deep as the ocean can be harmed by a human being. But individuals are parts of communities, and our global community has exploded to over 7 billion people. The multiplier effect of growing populations, increasing demand for food and 200 years of carbon-intensive industrial production have put a tremendous burden on the ocean. The ocean is being depleted of critical fish stocks, choked with discarded plastic and made increasingly...

Hot Oceans Are Killing Coral Reefs Around the World
2015-10-08 17:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: For the past year, the world's corals have been getting increasingly pummeled by climate change. Now with El Nio kicking ocean heat into overdrive, much of the world's oceans have turned deadly for the world's corals. On Thursday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced a global coral bleaching event. This year joins the ranks of 1997 and 2010 as the only times on record that bleaching has occurred in all three of the world's oceans that support coral at the same...
