Too warm, too few fish: Health warning for worlds oceans
2015-08-23 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: The worlds oceans covering nearly two-thirds of the Earths surface, and on which much of human life depends are under severe pressure, a report says. Over-fishing has dramatically reduced fish stocks. The thousands of tonnes of rubbish dumped in the oceans wreak havoc on marine life, while climate change is warming and acidifying them, putting them under further stress. These are the sobering conclusions of a wide-ranging study of the Earths ecosystems by the Worldwatch Institute, a...

Artificial removal of atmospheric carbon dioxide may do little to save the oceans
2015-08-04 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
International Business: There is no plan B, U.S. President Barack Obama said on Monday, while unveiling an ambitious plan to reduce domestic greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change. Now, a new study -- which analyzed proposals to artificially suck out carbon dioxide from the atmosphere -- has backed Obamas assertion, and reaffirmed the need to act before its too late. Artificial carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from the atmosphere has been proposed to reduce both risks to marine life ......
Big trouble ahead for oceans tiny microbes

Grist: It`s never good when a scientist says "I try not to be an alarmist, but ..." Unfortunately, that`s exactly what MIT`s Stephanie Dutkiewicz recently said about how ocean acidification and warming waters could massively disrupt the world`s phytoplankton populations, aka the base of the entire marine food web. For a refresher on ocean acidification, check out this short Grist video featuring our office beta fish and a soda maker. Otherwise, here`s the gist: As the ocean absorbs CO2, it becomes...
Oceans slowed down global warming
2015-07-18 13:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Indo-Asian News Service: In the recent years, extra heat from greenhouse gases has been trapped in the subsurface waters of the Pacific and Indian oceans accounting for the slowdown in the global surface temperature increase observed during the past decade, shows a study. The climate researchers from University of California, Los Angeles and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory found the movement of warm water has affected surface temperatures. "The western Pacific got so warm that some of the warm water is leaking into...
