“Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the most critical problems because its effects are globally pervasive and irreversible on ecological timescales. The primary direct consequences are increasing ocean temperatures [1] and acidity [2].
Climbing temperatures create a host of additional changes, such as rising sea level, increased ocean stratification, decreased sea-ice extent, and altered patterns of ocean circulation, precipitation, and freshwater input. In addition, both warming and altered ocean circulation act to reduce subsurface oxygen (O2) concentrations [3] In recent decades, the rates of change have been rapid and may exceed the current and potential future tolerances of many organisms to adapt. Further, the rates of physical and chemical change in marine ecosystems will almost certainly accelerate over the next several decades in the absence of immediate and dramatic efforts toward climate mitigation.”
