New study warns of dangerous climate change risks to the Earth’s oceans | Dana Nuccitelli

Immediate, serious efforts to curb carbon pollution are needed to minimize ocean ecosystem changes

A new paper just published in Science summarizes the projected impacts of climate change on the world's oceans, and consequently on humans and our economy. The study concludes that global warming beyond the international limit of 2C above pre-industrial temperatures would pose serious threats to marine ecosystems and their millions of human dependents. It builds on the consensus science published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change last year. The study concludes,

Ocean changes associated with a 2C warming of global surface temperature carries high risks of impacts and should not be exceeded.
