More than half of world’s oceans already being affected by climate change – EurekAlert
Study looked at the deeper ocean, where impacts of climate change are harder to spot, to calculate when the effects of climate change on temperature and salt levels will be detected above natural variability. Found effects already detectable in half the world…
published in Nature Climate Change, estimates that 20-55% of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans now have noticeably different temperatures and salt levels, while this will rise to 40-60% by the middle of the century, and to 55-80% by 2080.
It also found the Southern Hemisphere oceans are being affected more rapidly by climate change than the Northern Hemisphere, with changes having been detectable there since as early as the 1980s.
