"As greenhouse gas emissions continue to warm the oceans, marine life
biodiversity could plummet within the next few centuries to levels not seen
since the extinction of the dinosaurs, according to new research.
Oceanographers modeled future marine biodiversity under different projected
climate scenarios and found that if emissions are not curbed, species losses
from warming and oxygen depletion alone could come to mirror the substantial
impact humans already have on marine biodiversity by around 2100.
Tropical waters would experience the greatest loss of biodiversity, while polar
species are at the highest risk of extinction, according to the study in
Science."
