The melting of Snowball Earth glaciers apparently released phosphates ground off continental rocks into the oceans between 750 and 620 million years ago, causing levels of this vital nutrient to rise to levels higher than experienced before or since, and feeding oxygen - producing life which eventually supported the rise of newly developing oxygen - consuming «metazoans,» or animals (staff, New Scientist, October 27, 2010; and Planavsky et al, 2010).
Eventually, however, terrestrial red and green algae and the first lichens developed on land and the final big rise in oxygen may have been caused by the «greening of the continents from around 800 million years ago,» when these simple early lifeforms on land steadily spread and broke down rocks that sustained a higher rate of erosion and led to the release of more nutrients into the oceans that stimulated even more photosynthesis by more newly evolved algae as well as older cyanobacteria (Nick Lane, New Scientist, February 10, 2010).

Undoubtedly in past climate changes, increasing temps did in fact cause CO2 to move from the ocean to the air as solubility of a gas in a liquid decreases with higher temps.
In contrast, interference of high CO2 with brain neurotransmitter functions is the primary cause of such impaired behaviour in experiments simulating future ocean acidification.
We know the opposite to be true, that CO2 concentrations in the ocean are increasing and causing lower pH (higher acidity), which may be even more damaging to life than increasing temperatures.
There is high confidence that this has caused large - scale changes in the ocean, in the cryosphere, and in sea level in the second half of the 20th century.
The only problems excess CO2 cause are less oxygen to breathe, and a higher ocean PH.which could be solved by dumping chemicals there.
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,
So does the warming of the ocean, or for that matter, even the water vapor feedback as the increasing partial pressure water vapor is both a response to higher temperatures and a cause of higher temperatures — but can raise temperatures only against the thermal inertia of the ocean.
«Higher levels of carbon in the ocean are causing oysters to grow slower, and their predators — such as blue crabs — to grow faster,» Justin Baker Ries, a marine geologist at the University of North Carolina's Aquarium Research Center, said in an recent interview.
In 2005, during the hottest average decade on record, 8 low - wind conditions known as «the doldrums» combined with very high ocean temperatures to cause massive coral bleaching in the Virgin Islands.9 This was followed by a particularly severe outbreak of at least five coral diseases in the Virgin Islands, resulting in a decline in coral cover of about 60 percent.9 There is some indication that higher ocean temperatures — between 86 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit (30 to 35 degrees Celsius)-- promote optimal growth of several coral pathogens.9 Other research showed that elkhorn coral post-bleaching had larger disease lesions than unbleached specimens, suggesting that bleaching may increase the corals» susceptibility to disease.9, 10
Further, cause to show direct relationship between magnetism, gravity, and ocean churn, provides plausible reason to believe there could be a causal relationship producing more carbon at higher temperature because of increased bacterial ocean life.
The high specific heat capacity of ocean water causes coastal land to have a milder climate than inland areas.
The proposition that higher atmospheric CO2 content will cause oceans to become acidic and adversely impact life is refuted by geologic history.
Yes, I «believe» higher levels of CO2 cause some amount of warming and obviously also warming of the sea surface and thus lower layers of the oceans.
If temperature is the cause, oceans can't be the huge absorbers, as oceans are the main source of the extra CO2 due to higher temperatures.
Global warming is caused by the Sun, especially its radiation over the past century plus or minus a half century which is dominantly absorbed and stored in the ocean because the ocean is dark and because it has a high heat capacity (inertia in some Earth sciences).
Corals have survived warming periods in the past that caused ocean temperatures and sea levels to be much higher than today's levels or those likely to occur in the next century.
Discusses the contraction that's happened causing cooler oceans near South Pole but warmer at slightly higher lataitudes.
They point to this uncertainty, while ignoring the very high degree of confidence scientists have that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, currently warming the planet, causing sea level rise and ocean acidification.
Damage to coral reefs from higher ocean temperatures and ocean acidification caused by higher atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, as well as damage from pollution and sedimentation, are threatening these breeding grounds for fish in tropical and subtropical waters.
The observation of a historically high level of TSI from 1961 to 2001 tends to fit with the theories set out in my other articles about the real cause of recent warming and the real link between solar energy, ocean cycles and global temperatures.
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...»
I would have liked to see mention of uncertainty that inherent in examining short term data, whether the end points used introduces an element of bias, whether the «pause» is on a much higher plateau of warming than in the past, whether decadel cycles in ocean heat displacement may have interacted with the the known minimum levels of solar activity (not modelled) to cause this «pause».
While many sources of stress have caused corals to bleach, «mass» coral bleaching (at scales of 100 km or more) has only occurred when anomalously warm ocean temperatures, typically coupled with high subsurface light levels, exceeded corals» physiological tolerances.
Alaska's warm spell was caused by high pressure conditions in the Pacific Ocean, which pushed the warm air and precipitation that usually ends up in California this time of year into the 49th state.
The larger amount of CO2 in the air in case A causes the ocean and biosphere to remove CO2 at a higher rate.
At low altitude and high temperatures (greater than 30 °C or 86 °F), over the ocean, it can reach 4.3 % or more of the atmosphere and is less dense than dry air, causing it to rise.
Physically, it is difficult to see how ocean temperatures can cause a consistent pattern of winds high up into the atmosphere while we have a very good physical explanation of how the winds can drive the surface ocean currents and temperature.
«The Walker circulation is caused by the pressure gradient force that results from a high pressure system over the eastern Pacific ocean, and a low pressure system over Indonesia.
As a result, high concentrations of CO2 are causing the oceans to acidify.
The winds are created from high and low pressure cells, and that's all caused from temperature differences related to the suns energy «influence» on the oceans / land and cyclical weather patterns.
The Santa Ana winds are caused by cold dry high pressure / very dense air in the interior of the US getting funnelled out the valleys in California as it loses elevation and like a chinook it warms up and gets insanely dry that dries out everything very very fast causing the wildfire problems, it's air that travels from the interior to the ocean.
The physical cause for this southward flow is that the sea level is always a few inches higher in the Arctic Ocean than it is in Baffin Bay and the Atlantic Ocean to the south.
