Not exact matches

New NOAA - led research maps the distribution of aragonite saturation state in both surface and subsurface waters of the global ocean and provides further evidence that ocean acidification is happening on a global scale.

The lab finding is «part of a growing body of evidence that ocean acidification alone and combined with other stressors will have effects beyond shell mineralization,» said Terrie Klinger, a University of Washington marine sciences professor studying the impacts of acidification.

A team of European geoscientists has found the most direct evidence yet that ocean acidification was a major part of the die - off.

Oceanic uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) causes pronounced shifts in marine carbonate chemistry and a decrease in seawater pH. Increasing evidence indicates that these changes — summarized by the term ocean acidification (OA)-- can significantly affect marine food webs and biogeochemical cycles.

Therefore, there is, as yet, no robust evidence for realized severe disruptions of marine socioecological links from ocean acidification to anthropogenic CO2, and there are significant uncertainties regarding the level of pH change that would prompt such impacts.

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

What it means In summing up the implications of their findings, the Portuguese scientists say that they further support the fact that «there is no evidence of CO2 - related mortalities of juvenile or adult bivalves in natural habitats, even under conditions that far exceed the worst - case scenarios for future ocean acidification (Tunnicliffe et al., 2009).»

In summing up the implications of their findings, the Portuguese scientists say that they further support the fact that «there is no evidence of CO2 - related mortalities of juvenile or adult bivalves in natural habitats, even under conditions that far exceed the worst - case scenarios for future ocean acidification (Tunnicliffe et al., 2009).»

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.

The 2009 State of the Climate Report of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) tells us that climate change is real because of rising surface air temperatures since 1880 over land and the ocean, ocean acidification, sea level rise, glaciers melting, rising specific humidity, ocean heat content increasing, sea ice retreating, glaciers diminishing, Northern Hemisphere snow cover decreasing, and so many other lines of evidence.

The anthropogenic influence on atmospheric CO2 is about as solid as science gets, supported by multiple lines of evidence — simple accounting, ocean acidification, ocean CO2 increasing at the surface (by Salby it would have to be decreasing), decreasing atmospheric O2, isotopic balances, 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.

I'm against Ocean Acidification theory because I've done loads and loads of background reading... about the lack of credible scientific evidence that it represents any kind of problem... in the eyes of all those undecideds who can't make up their mind whether they agree with me on climate science or whether I'm talking bollocks...»

There are no radical departures in this report from the previous assessment, published in 2007; just a great deal more evidence demonstrating the extent of global temperature rises, the melting of ice sheets and sea ice, the retreat of the glaciers, the rising and acidification of the oceans and the changes in weather patterns (3).

The evidence that Ocean Acidification represents any kind of threat is threadbare — and getting flimsier by the day.

It is unprecedented in its scale and scope, and examines evidence of changes in ocean temperature and ecosystems, rising acidification and methane levels, and massive shrinkage of the polar ice caps.

Some comforting reassurances on ocean acidification and the rate of sea level rise would go down a treat — all the evidence I've seen on these ugly items is pretty discouraging so far.

Rocky shores are one of the few ecosystems for which field evidence of the effects of ocean acidification is available.

I believe the strong role of anthropogenic contributions to climate change with potentially significant adverse impacts (global warming and ocean acidification) is well documented by a large array of independent evidence.

Consider the facts: the climate system is indicated to have left the natural cycle path; multiple lines of evidence and studies from different fields all point to the human fingerprint on current climate change; the convergence of these evidence lines include ice mass loss, pattern changes, ocean acidification, plant and species migration, isotopic signature of CO2, changes in atmospheric composition, and many others.

The increasing acidification of the oceans is another line of evidence indicating the overloading of the atmosphere with CO2, evidence independent of any computer modeling.
