Mysteries of the deep; As scientists work to unlock the secrets of how climate change is affecting the oceans, they may have found an improbable new power tool: bacteria.Stutz, Bruce
Climate change is affecting the oceans, too. Ocean water absorbs CO2from the atmosphere, which creates a chemical reaction that causesocean acidification. Ocean surface waters have become30% more acidicsince the beginning of the industrial revolution. When water is too acidic, corals can't build t...
Discover important facts about what climate change is, what's causing it, and what we can do to stop it.
The latest report from the IPCC highlights the dramatic toll warming has taken on the world's water.
Climate change is a phenomenon that has been affecting various aspects of our planet, including ocean ecosystems. The continuous increase in greenhouse gas emissions has led to rising sea levels, warming oceans, and ocean acidification, which have all had significant impacts on marine life. In this...
NASA chief Kate Calvin discusses how climate change is affecting everyday life06:10 The oceans of today look different from the oceans of 20 years ago, researchers found in a new study. Around 56% of the world's oceans have changed color, with the blue waters becoming greener over time, ...
A16 Climate experts are here to set the record straight.What is climate change?Climate change covers a broad range of environmental and human-caused factors that are affecting the planet.Although climate change has occurred naturally for centuries, now the climate is being altered by human activity...
One of the most significant impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems is the acidification of the oceans. As the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increase, a portion of it is absorbed by the oceans, leading to a decrease in the pH levels of the water. This acidification has...
Climate change is already affecting water access fo people around the world causing more severe droughts and floods. Climate change impacts the water cycle by influencing when, where and how much rain falls. It also leads to more severe weather events over time. Increasing global temperatures cause...
Down to Earth: “Marine Heatwaves : Climate change is causing heatwaves within the oceans” Much of the researchon marine heatwaves finds that they affect certain habitats particularly strongly, including coral reefs, seagrasses and seaweeds. Marine heatwaves were found to be responsible for the ...
