Since 1970, there has been an increase in stratification in the upper ocean due to global warming and, in some areas, salinity changes. [14] The salinity changes are caused by evaporation in tropical waters, which results in higher salinity and density levels. Meanwhile, melting ice can cause a decrease in salinity at higher latitudes. [14]
The direction and magnitude of the effects of ocean acidification, warming and deoxygenation on the ocean has been quantified by meta-analyses, [136] [142] [143] and has been further tested by mesocosm studies. The mesocosm studies simulated the interaction of these stressors and found a catastrophic effect on the marine food web, namely, that ...
Some climate change effects: wildfire caused by heat and dryness, bleached coral caused by ocean acidification and heating, environmental migration caused by desertification, and coastal flooding caused by storms and sea level rise. Effects of climate change are well documented and growing for Earth's natural environment and human societies. Changes to the climate system include an overall ...

Ocean acidification has been called the "evil twin of global warming" and "the other CO 2 problem". [ 22 ] [ 23 ] Increased ocean temperatures and oxygen loss act concurrently with ocean acidification and constitute the "deadly trio" of climate change pressures on the marine environment. [ 24 ]
Problems of global warming, climate change, and their various negative impacts on human life and on the functioning of entire societies are one of the most dramatic challenges of modern times. PAS General Assembly calls on the national scientific communities and the national government to actively support Polish participation in this important ...
The warming of ocean waters has caused coral bleaching and the degradation of coral reefs, which are vital to marine biodiversity and fisheries. Coral reefs support a large proportion of the world's fish species, providing food and livelihoods for millions of people.
The long-form article depicts a worst-case scenario of what might happen in the near-future due to global warming. The story was the most-read article in the history of the magazine. [1] [2] The article became the inspiration for The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming, a book-length treatment of the ideas explored in the original essay. [3]
