Come On, Baby, Do the Loco Oceans Rising ocean temperatures caused by anthropogenic warming, says study Well here's a shocker: turns out it's global warming causing the globe's oceans to warm, a phenomenon linked to more intense hurricanes. Such is the counter-counter-intuitive conclusion of new research in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Over the 20th century, average sea-surface temperatures in the tropical Atl ...

And the Wind Cries Scary Pacific Northwest ocean dead zone getting larger		27 Jul 2006	Daily Grist
And the Wind Cries Scary Pacific Northwest ocean dead zone getting larger Researchers believe global warming is behind a recurring low-oxygen "dead zone" in the Pacific Northwest ocean. Triggered by north winds, a process called upwelling encourages the growth of phytoplankton blooms; when the water calms, the phytoplankton die for lack of nutrients, sink to the bottom, and rot, using up oxyg ...

Acid Vicious Coral and other sea critters suffer as CO2 makes oceans more acidic By the end of the century, oceans may no longer be livable habitat for coral, a coalition of U.S. scientists warned yesterday in a new report. The world's oceans absorb about a third of the atmosphere's carbon dioxide, which these days is a little more than they can handle: rising CO2 levels are making oceans more acidic, which weakens coral reefs and can dissolve ...

A Bitter Drill House votes to end moratorium on offshore drilling The House voted yesterday to end the 25-year-old ban on oil and gas drilling off most of the U.S. coast. The highly contentious debate broke down more along geographic lines than partisan ones, as states standing to make money from the drilling largely supported it. Under the bill, drilling would be allowed beyond 50 miles off the coast; states c ...
