SHARMINI PERIES, EXEC PRODUCER: Welcome to The Real News Network. I’m Sharmini Peries coming to you from Baltimore.A recent study published in the scientific journal Nature Climate Change reveals that climate change, particularly global warming, is disrupting marine ecosystems on a scale that hasn’t been seen in 3 million years. Global warming of the earth is causing its waters to warm, and this could be causing the species to migrate to cooler waters, triggering drastic changes in ocean biodiversity. However, the authors of the study say that the effects on marine life can be curtailed with a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.Here to discuss this is Richard Kirby. Dr. Richard Kirby is joining us from Plymouth, UK. He’s a plankton scientist and associate fellow of the Marine Biological Association. He’s the author of this research report. Welcome to The Real News Network,
Richard.RICHARD KIRBY, ASSOCIATE FELLOW, MARINE BIOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION: Hello.PERIES: So Richard, let’s start with you explaining to us the findings and how you came to the conclusions about the future impact of climate change on marine animals.
KIRBY: I’ll begin by saying something that people are probably very familiar with. It’s […]
