The ocean water in the cold south off the coast of Antarctica is one of the few places on the planet where the effects of climate change is seemingly absent. Ocean currents push surface water northward up the Arctic causing centuries-old cold deep water to move all the way to the surface off the coast of Antarctica.
Understanding aerosols, as well as the process of cloud formation, can help us to predict climate change effects better, says a new study.
Delegates from around the world are very close to finalizing the first-ever world-changing climate deal.
Scientists are surprised when they found that the Antarctic Ocean absorbed 1.2 billion tons of carbon dioxide in 2011, twice the amount registered in 1990.
Scientists have blamed ocean acidification that killed off 90 percent of marine life at the end of Permian period.
Researchers have shown that the greenhouse increased 22 parts per million between 2000 and 2010 due to burning fossil fuels which surface increased warming.
According to a study conducted by the Global Carbon Project initiative and published in the Natural Geoscience Journal, in 2013 global greenhouse gas emissions rose by 2.3%, reaching a record high.
