Disease is spreading through our oceans like never before, report finds
<http://www.sciencealert.com/global-warming-is-making-the-oceans-sick-new-report-finds>

"An international investigation into the health of the world's oceans
has found that rising global temperatures are spreading disease at an
unprecedented level, threatening the global food chains, which of course
include us."

We desperately need to start taking better care of our oceans, because
we all rely on them for food and oxygen.  Via Antony Barry.


What the ‘sixth extinction’ will look like in the oceans: The largest
species die off first

"Simply put, species are going extinct at a rate that far exceeds what
you would expect to see naturally, as a result of a major perturbation
to the system."

Let's hope we can save a few of the larger species both in the oceans
and on land.  Via Gideon Rosenblatt.
