Summary of what the article is about We've been told repeatedly throughout the years that our earth's climate continues to change. However, it is rare that during these conversations the possibility of there being an unceasing increase in the temperatures in our oceans due to climate change brought up specifically. There being a potential rise in temperature and the ramifications that such a thing would bring are what this particular article is written about. Even though the study itself took years to conduct, its' initial hypothesis of the various scientists involved was somewhat of a simple one, it was that "[c]limate change will dramatically alter life in the oceans" (Zimmer, 2017). This seems like a pretty safe assumption …show more content…
According to the article they don’t really know why it is that certain ocean dwellers thrived when there was an increase in heat. However, we do know that the continuing rise in temperature presents an important threat in years to come and may end up being the reason behind why some of the ocean’s inhabitants end up going extinct in the future because not all of the sea life can live in such conditions. Reflection I really enjoyed this article thought it presented some interesting findings along with a lot of solid evidence to support their claims. Don’t really see any reasons as to why I would disagree with what the scientists’ found, personally thought the entire article pretty agreeable. It is worrisome that certain ocean life essentially have expiration dates when it comes how much longer their species will be able to live and or thrive. Interspecific competition and overpopulation were both touched on in this article and were the primary negative consequences of there being a spike in temperature in the ocean. The one thing that I didn’t really like about the article was that it didn’t propose any possible solutions; it presented us with an imminent threat that was presented in a manner that indicated that it would pretty much be an inevitably. Although, there hasn’t been any preventions discovered as of yet, these types of experiments and studies continue to broaden the understanding of ocean life which is still beneficial and may eventually
Another article about the higher temperature on the oceans. According to this article, New England’s lobsters is increasing above the normal average. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission reports that this phenomenon is a result from the higher temperature under the oceans. They inform that higher temperature lead to speeding up their metabolism. When the water may get too warm, it is put the animals under stress. The writer is Carl Zimmer, and explained about the reason of the un-normal increasing of the lobsters in New England. That can prove that climate change has a big impact on the marine life. The article is support my research that climate change cause an extinct of the marine creatures, by using the Atlantic States Marine
The rise of sea levels are projected to increase warmer waters from one and a half to two degrees in Central North Pacific in 2050, 1.9 to 2.6 degrees in Northern Islands, and also two to five degrees in the Caribbean at the end of this century. This rise of temperature decreases the life of ecosystems in the ocean and resulting in less freshwater for
A warming ocean has already killed large chunks of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. On April 4, 2017, writer Eduardo Porter for The New York Times published an article called, “To Curb Global Warming, Science Fiction May Become Fact,” intended for the reader of the New York Times. The editorial talks about how if we don’t take action as soon as possible, climate change could indeed become a new thing. Scientist all over the world are discovering many areas throughout the planet that are increasing in temperature, and animals’ homes are being destroyed. The writer is able to create a better understanding on the dangers of a warming planet, by saying the earth is increasing in temperature all over the world, not only affecting different animals,
Rising temperatures are causing melting glaciers, which cause rising oceans. Rising oceans will envelop entire coastal cities, killing or displacing millions of people. Our food sources will dwindle; entire species of animals will become extinct as we destroy their homes to rebuild; and as our population skyrockets, an unimaginable number of humans will be left homeless, starving, and sick.
Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, mankind has slowly increased the total greenhouse gas emissions that enter the atmosphere. Over time, this pollution began to add up. Now planet Earth is struggling to maintain its health with the combined forces of global warming and ocean acidification looking to bring demise. From all portions of the world, troubling changes are emerging in the chemistry of our oceans’ waters. The oceans takes in around a quarter of the Carbon Dioxide that mankind releases into the atmosphere every year, so as atmospheric Carbon Dioxide levels rise, so do the
Since the 1950s, the amount of heat stored in the ocean has significantly increased. Ocean heat content determines sea surface temperature, it also affects sea level and currents. An overall average of the world’s oceans. Since 1880 sea level has risen at a rate of roughly six-tenths of an inch per decade. In recent years, the rate of increase has increased more rapidly to more than an inch per decade. Sea level has risen the most with an increase of more than 8 inches between 1960 and 2015, along parts of the Gulf coast and the Mid-Atlantic coast. However, sea level has decreased relative to the land in parts of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest.
I chose an article in the CLIMATE MONITORING section. "To Study Earth’s Climate, Look to the Ocean" by Christopher Sarro on October 3, 2017
According to a study in October 2015, “Earth had warmed by about 1.7 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880 when records begin at a global scale. Which includes the surface of the ocean. The warming is greater over land and greater still in the Arctic and parts of Antarctica” (Gillis, 2015). Although an increase of warmth of 1.7 degrees doesn’t seem like it’s a big deal,
The main limitation of the article is that the author's name was not listed on the page. Also, even though the information in the article was very accurate and could be corroborated with other sites, the article website is not considered extremely reputable. The majority of the text is objective and factual although the author also included various opinions in the introduction. This was done to make the global warming issue more riveting, urgent and consequential so readers would be influenced to help avert the major effects of global warming. Nevertheless, the article is considered very accurate, well explained and the information is
Warming may not be consistent across all oceans or all areas of oceans. A figure by Trujillo and Thurman (2011) shows

Did you know that Climate change is affecting people all around the world? Climate change is a very bad thing that has been going on for hundreds of years. So many things are being affected by climate change. Things that are being affected are trees, plants, animals, and even people. One reason that climate change is happening is that the earth is always in orbit so the climate is always changing. Climate change isn’t only nature, climate change is caused from humans, the sun, and animals. We are causing climate change by burning things. Scientists predicted this and they’re using models to predict climate change. Snow leopards in the Himalayas are dieing off. Asian Rhinos depend on floodplain grasslands and climate change changes the seasonal patterns the Rhinos go off of. Orang-utans are also one of the species at risk from deforestation. The ice that the Polar Bears use for homes are slowly starting to melt which means they are becoming more and more crowded.
Nowadays global warming is the hot topic which is discussed many times and times. Obviously there is no one magic
One of the most serious effects of global warming, as it continues to intensify, is the increase in the ocean levels. Thermal expansion of the ocean and glacial melting are likely to cause a .5 to 1.5 meter rise in the ocean level by the year 2100. As the ocean level rises and if no protection is provided, many freshwater supplies could be jeopardized. Tens and possibly hundreds of millions of
İnsanlar tarafından atmosfere salınan gazların sera etkisi yaratması sonucunda dünya yüzeyinde sıcaklığın artmasına küresel ısınma deniyor. Daha ayrıntılı açıklamak gerekirse dünyanın yüzeyi güneş ışınları tarafından ısıtılıyor.
