The continuing rise in atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide is causing an increase in the amount of heat trapped by the atmosphere. As a result of this extra heat the environmental effects of a changing climate are becoming obvious. From loss of Polar ice cover to retreating mountaintop glaciers, from changes in the marine environment to land based environmental changes, the global environment is changing.
Changing Marine Environment
Outside of the atmosphere, the oceans are the largest part of the Earth’s environment, providing food for the planet’s inhabitants, regulating temperature and climatic conditions for most of the land and acting as a carbon sink for the whole world. Biodiversity damage to the oceans is one of the clearest signs of the environmental effects of climate change.
