Sentences with phrase «acidification accelerates»

Marine scientists who met in Monaco in October 2008 released a strong statement on January 30, 2009 about ocean acidification accelerating due to increasing carbon emissions caused by human - induced climate change.

I'm not sure which is worse the global temp taking a brief hiatus or the ocean's acidification accelerating?

Not exact matches

Supposed calamities like the accelerated rise of sea level, ocean acidification, more extreme climate, tropical diseases near the poles, and so on are greatly exaggerated.

But acidification is now happening at an accelerated pace, and it's already changing the ocean in profound ways.

Reports of damaging ocean acidification, accelerating sea - level rise or unprecedented decreases of polar and glacial ice are also mostly myths designed to terrify people into accepting harmful policies that allegedly «save the planet.»

I think we have little time left to reduce emissions globally to the level required to avoid the climate and ocean acidification ramifications of continued and accelerated emissions.

There is no evidence that the rates of overfishing, ocean acidification and pollution are «accelerating.»

The process model also shows that the acidification of the surface ocean is accelerated by this process (18; Fig.

The acidification of the oceans will accelerate this process by affecting food supplies.

Alarmed at the pace of change to our Earth caused by human - induced climate change, including accelerating melting and loss of ice from Greenland, the Himalayas and Antarctica, acidification of the world's oceans due to rising CO2 concentrations, increasingly intense tropical cyclones, more damaging and intense drought and floods, including glacial lakes outburst loods, in many regions and higher levels of sea - level rise than estimated just a few years ago, risks changing the face of the planet and threatening coastal cities, low lying areas, mountainous regions and vulnerable countries the world over,

I find concerned liberals are loath to talk about how consistently wrong climate models have been or about the «pause» in global warming that has gone on for over fifteen years, while climate skeptics avoid discussion of things like ocean acidification and accelerated melting in Greenland and the Arctic.

Whether we look at the steady increase in global temperature; the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to the highest level in a half - million years; the march of warmest - ever years (9 of the10 hottest on record have occurred since 2000); the dramatic shrinking of mountain glaciers and Arctic sea ice; the accelerating rise in sea level; or the acidification of our oceans; the tale told by the evidence is consistent and it is compelling.

Furthermore, from a global perspective, the carbon emissions from burning coal threaten the reef by accelerating ocean acidification and rising water temperature, which can lead to coral die - offs.

The vulnerable nations declared that they are, «Alarmed at the pace of change to our Earth caused by human - induced climate change, including accelerating melting and loss of ice from Greenland, the Himalayas and Antarctica, acidification of the world's oceans due to rising CO2 concentrations, increasingly intense tropical cyclones, more damaging and intense drought and floods, including Glacial Lakes Outburst Floods, in many regions and higher levels of sea - level rise than estimated just a few years ago, risks changing the face of the planet and threatening coastal cities, low lying areas, mountainous regions and vulnerable countries the world over...»

CO2 is said to be responsible for global warming that is not occurring, for accelerated sea level rise that is not occurring, for net glacial and sea ice melt that is not occurring, for ocean acidification that is not occurring, and for increasing extreme weather that is not occurring.»

Hence CO2 ramped up ever faster in the atmosphere, further accelerating warming, until you have the same symptoms of a global - warming - mass - extinction like the end Triassic or even Permian (ocean acidification, jump in global temperatures, ocean anoxia, etc).

The evidence includes accelerated sea level rise, rising global temperatures, warming oceans, declining Arctic ice sheet, worldwide glaciers retreat, increase of extreme weather events and ocean acidification.

But other elements could potentially also contribute to a collapse: an accelerating extinction of animal and plant populations and species, which could lead to a loss of ecosystem services essential for human survival; land degradation and land - use change; a pole - to - pole spread of toxic compounds; ocean acidification and eutrophication (dead zones); worsening of some aspects of the epidemiological environment (factors that make human populations susceptible to infectious diseases); depletion of increasingly scarce resources [6,7], including especially groundwater, which is being overexploited in many key agricultural areas [8]; and resource wars [9].

Examples include severe flooding, heat waves and droughts.The oceans too are changing fast, with accelerating sea - level rise and acidification.

What interests me in regard to accelerated anthropogenic ocean acidification and global temperature rise, which are being monitored by instrumentation worldwide, are the vast amounts of data reported and the longitudinal studies done by glaciologists, marine biologists, chemical oceanographers, botanists, climatologists, reef specialists, and their colleagues in other scientific disciplines.

Since plankton account for 50 % or so of the carbon recycling on the planet (plus permanent carbon sequestration if the iron fertilization hypothesis is right) doesn't this mean that CO2 - induced acidification would accelerate the rate of CO2 increase in the atmosphere, which would then accelerate the rate of acidification?
