A new international science report says the world's oceans are getting warmer, rising higher, losing oxygen and and melting even more ice and snow. The report says these changes will harm people, plants, animals, food, and more.
NEW YORK — Due to climate change, the world’s oceans are getting warmer, rising higher, losing oxygen and becoming more acidic at an ever-faster pace and melting even more ice and snow, a grim international science assessment concludes.report
“The world’s oceans and cryosphere have been taking the heat for climate change for decades. The consequences for nature and humanity are sweeping and severe,” said Ko Barrett, vice chair of the IPCC and a deputy assistant administrator for research at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.—Seas are now rising at one-seventh of an inch a year, which is 2.5 times faster than the rate from 1900 to 1990.
And for the first time, the international team of scientists is projecting that “some island nations are likely to become uninhabitable due to climate-related ocean and cryosphere change.” The new report projects that, under the business-as-usual scenario for carbon emissions, seas by the end of the century will rise between two feet and 43 inches with a most likely amount of 33 inches . This is slightly less than the traditional 1 meter that scientists often use.
