Ocean Conservation: Ocean Acidification and the Impacts of Fish Migration

Green Tech Challenge

Put simply, ocean acidification is the imbalance of chemical content in ocean water; whereby there is increased acidity, and upward temperature changes. The ocean has experienced a 26% pH drop in the last century. Ocean acidification has negative effects on sea-life and the ecosystem.

Fish struggle with warming oceans and acidification

AGreenLiving

Fish face a new threat — ocean acidification caused by global warming. In a recent study published in Global Change Biology , researchers found that warming waters and acidification could adversely affect how fish interact in groups. student who was among the researchers.

Understanding the Anthropocene, Resilience Thinking, and the Future of Industry

Green Business Bureau

At the end of the first century, there were approximately 170 million people on Earth, by 1800, the population was over 1 billion people with major cities developing, breakthrough medical advancements, and continued technological innovation. There is nearly twice as much carbon in permafrost than is currently in the atmosphere.

Carbfix turns emissions into stone

AGreenLiving

While it sounds like an evil power out of a fairy tale, and maybe there is a little bit of magic to Carbfix’s approach, we’ll assume its proprietary technology is scientific. Carbfix’s technology just makes the process of the carbon getting into the rocks a lot faster. Here’s how it works. But, so do rocks.

Dire Scientific Warnings from the Study of Fossilized Shells and Our Hope for the Future

Green Market Oracle

Scientists have recently added to the body of evidence confirming global warming as the cause of previous extinction events. This led them to conclude that the cause of the extinction was warming and ocean acidification attributable to the release of GHGs from massive volcanic eruptions in Siberia.

Reaching net zero requires climate intervention and aggressive mitigation

Business Green

To limit global warming to a peak of 1.5C, which the impacts we are experiencing at 1.35°C °C warming (based on an average of the last 10 years) make clear is a higher than desirable goal. We would suggest that is arguably impossible, both economically and technologically. The challenge. The response.

UN report: Ocean-based climate action could deliver a fifth of emissions cuts needed to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C

Envirotec Magazine

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate (to be released on September 25), is expected to highlight major threats to the ocean from climate change, such as declining fish stocks, rising sea levels and increasing ocean acidification.
