Global Warming and the Oceans

When many people think of global warming they think of carbon dioxide levels causing the earth to become much warmer than it was before. One aspect that many people do not think about is the worlds oceans and the marine fauna that lives there. If the world continues to warm at this alarming pace there will be a dramatic effect on the flora and fauna that live in the oceans as well as land. Many marine organisms have specific physiological tolerance to things such as temperature, ph, salinity etc. If the climate continue to warm and melting og glaciers causes ocean currents to change a dramatic effect will be felt on fauna and flora of many regions, as not onky could there habitat become inhospitable but an unfair advantage could be given to certain species over others resulting in mass extinction. Another key thing that must be noticed, is that if sea level continues to rise due to melting glaciers caused by global warming, many organisms that live on the coastline will have thir habitat significantly alterered. From a human perspective think what will happen to those nice houses built along the coasts.

The following article shows an example of how incompetent some people can be when it comes to pressing needs like the ones listed above.

Really, it sounds like something that would come out of the mouth of Stewie Griffin. But it comes out of the mouth of Alberta Premier Ralph Klein.
Mr. Klein has stirred controversy in the past by rejecting scientific data suggesting industrial pollution is one of the leading causes of global warming.
He has even said global warming trends that occurred millions of years ago may have been caused by “dinosaur farts.”
