Thus we see how important the ocean remains for the regulating of climate as it is also the absorber of heat and of carbon dioxide in earth. Surviving for over 70% of the surface of Earth’s, the ocean takes up to 93% of all excess heat brought about by human aktivitities as well as 25% of carbon dioxide emission. This process makes a significant contribution in eliminating the effects of global warming by reducing the rate of change of temperature in the atmosphere.
The currents like the Gulf Stream, transport heat across the global and regulate climate through weather distribution. Besides, the biological factors, for instance, photosynthesis of phytoplankton, plays another important role for carbon uptake from the atmosphere and its storage in the ocean.
But, high Carbon dioxide levels are having the disturbing effect of acidifying the oceans and this is bad news for any marine life form that has calcium carbonate shells or skeletons in that these structures dissolve in acidic conditions. Preserving and studying the function of the ocean in regulating climatic conditions is significant in the formulation of robust approaches for the remediation of climate change and replenishment of marine habitats. Greenhouse gas emissions cuts and sustainable ocean management are critical to sustaining ocean’s rightful role as a modifier of climate system.
