Climate change and the oceans--what does the future hold?
The ocean has been shielding the earth from the worst effects of rapid climate change by absorbing excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This absorption of CO2 is driving the ocean along the pH gradient towards more acidic conditions. At the same time ocean warming is having pronounced impacts on the composition, structure and functions of marine ecosystems. Warming, freshening (in some ar...
متن کاملClimate: Is the past the key to the future?
The climate of the Holocene is not well suited to be the baseline for the climate of the planet. It is an interglacial, a state typical of only 10% of the past few million years. It is a time of relative sea-level stability after a rapid 130-m rise from the lowstand during the last glacial maximum. Physical geologic processes are operating at unusual rates and much of the geochemical system is ...

متن کاملLearning from the past: how low [CO₂] studies inform plant and ecosystem response to future climate change.
Atmospheric [CO2] over the past 800 000 yr has varied generally as a function of glacial periods, with minima (c. 170–200 ppm) during glacial periods and maxima (c. 280–300 ppm) during inter-glacial periods (Luthi et al., 2008). During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; 18 000–20 000 yr ago), atmospheric [CO2] ranged from 180 to 200 ppm, which is approximately half the current [CO2] (392 ppm), and ...
