Warmer sea temperatures are linked to the severity of a coral disease, according to a study on Australia's Great Barrier Reef that offers a dire warning about global warming's potential impact on the world's troubled coral reefs.

Many would say that coral reefs globally are already so damaged, and so threatened by further environmental degradation, pollution, global warming, and predators that there is little chance restoration efforts can turn things around. But now a Nature Conservancy scientist says there's reason for hope.

Trees may not sprout from the ocean, but that doesn't stop one expert from talking about the need to save the ocean's "forests." That's how Noel Brown, former head of the United Nations Environment Programme, refers to the oceans' supply of plankton, the tiny plant life that is the base of the ocean's food chain. It feeds most of the wo

Ocean acidification is a real and potentially devastating consequence of climate change that demands immediate attention. An excess of fossil fuel-derived carbon dioxide is causing profound changes in ocean chemistry. These changes are some of the most pressing problems presented by the burning of fossil fuels, but they get little attention.

Rising levels of carbon dioxide will have wide-ranging impacts on the world's oceans regardless of climate change, reports a study published in the March 9, 2007, issue of the journal Geophysical Research Letters. "Whether you believe in global warming or not, CO2 is going to run havoc in the oceans if unabated, " warned coauthor Dr. Cald

The world's oceans are turning acidic due to the buildup of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, and scientists say the effects on marine life will be catastrophic. In the next 50 to 100 years corrosive seawater will dissolve the shells of tiny marine snails and reduce coral reefs to rubble, the researchers say.
