Climate Change 2007: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability
msuweb.montclair.eduThe uptake of anthropogenic carbon since 1750 has led to the ocean becoming more acidic with an average decrease in pH of 0.1 units [IPCC Working Group I Fourth Assessment]. However, the effects of observed ocean acidification on the marine biosphere are as yet undocumented [1.3].

Marine biodiversity is expected to increase at temperate latitudes as warmwater species expand their ranges northward (high confidence), but may decrease in the tropics if thermal tolerance limits are exceeded (medium confidence).

Arguably the world’s most iconic coral reef, The Great Barrier Reef in Australia, has now been hit by four mass coral bleaching events in 1998, 2002, 2016, and 2017. Pollution is poisoning our blue planet. Over 80 per cent of this comes from land-based activities

Understanding Global Warming of 1.5°C4 A.1 Human activities are estimated to have caused approximately 1.0°C of global warming5 above pre-industrial levels, with a likely range of 0.8°C to 1.2°C. Global warming is likely to reach 1.5°C between 2030 and 2052 if it continues to increase at the current rate. (high confidence) (Figure SPM.1 ...
