Less oxygen in the oceans

in science •  7 years ago 

The Global Ocean Oxygen Network noted that in the oceans, low-oxygen areas have increased in open ocean and in coastal water such as estuaries and seas since 1950.
In 50 years, the amount of water without oxygen has quadrupled in open ocean and it is eight times worse in estuaries!

Alarming? Well, the pace is alarming!

well done cguib!

Kills me to see things like the oil markets and coal being lifted up when speeding up global warming is the result. Still feel the degenerative consumable energy sector is ultimately doomed, but not soon enough!

True, while people worry about the politics, this is what we really have to worry about. Good post, you have my upvote :)
