Climate change: Oceans running out of oxygen as temperatures rise

However, in recent years the threat from climate change has increased.

Even small changes can impact marine life in a significant way. So waters with less oxygen favour species such as jellyfish, but not so good for bigger, fast-swimming species like tuna."We have known about de-oxygenation but we haven't known the linkages to climate change and this is really worrying," said Minna Epps from IUCN.

Bigger fish like these have greater energy needs. According to the authors, these animals are starting to move to the shallow surface layers of the seas where there is more of the gas dissolved. However, this make the species much more vulnerable to over-fishing. Low levels of oxygen are also bad for basic processes like the cycling of elements crucial for life on Earth, including nitrogen and phosphorous.

From January 1st 2020, I'm giving up fish and seafood. I gave up meat in 1990. We also have shifted to the animal friendly products eg cleaning, shampoo etc. So..... I'm doing just a little to help. No big deal in my life, I've had it all so quite happy to rein it in.

Don't believe all the globalist propaganda...

Utter shite this story. We have waves/ water movement constantly so it's always oxygenated. Scare tactics

I'm confused! Shouldn't the water level in the oceans drop if it's running out of oxygen?

Pmsl at this title. What a load of shit

and, presumably, CO2. MASSIVE own goal...

Bottom line is there are too many homo sapiens on Earth. We are this planets worse virus. We're on a slow burn to extinction. There's 8 million more people in UK than in the 80's all consuming resources, creating pollution & waste. The global population needs to decline rapidly.

It's literally ⅓ oxygen H²O. What planet you on? Now are you talking about dissolved oxygen? If so you need to go watch a video on how is absorbed into the oceans!

Human existence on this planet is already on its way out. We’re destroying it for our own greed. Resources running out, no replenishment ever, go figure.

There was 27 scientists from all over the world said that the change is a normal planet change that will always keep moving for ever and there is nothing that can stop it sorry but I believe the 27 scientists

Well scientists phah what do they know about science eh?....give me corporate greed and mendacious politicians any day...much less troublesome than planning for a real future for my grandchildren...

This is all due to nonsensical climate rebellions making so much noises with wide open mouths wasting oxygen unnecessarily..no wonder Oceans running out...!!

That’s unbelievable! That’s crazy! We need to do something!!

What a complete load of bollocks

Quick buy all the tuna you can before it runs out!!!

Well all the highly qualified Twitter experts have spoken, it's fake news. It's all one big conspiracy by all the ordinary everyday scientists, who are apparently getting rich off this. 😂🤣

The number of people who actually believe this is very worrying

People are running out of patience as BBC releases more bullshit.

Time is running out for us to take advantage of the surviving fish in our waters and that is why WE. MUST. GET. BREXIT. DONE. whywemustgetbrexitdone

How did the World 'warm up' after the last Ice Age? Global warming all depends on WHEN measurements are taken. Peaks and troughs can be measured differently at North and South Pole or different phases in Earth's rotation. Anyone can make stuff up using selected and dodgy stats.

Amazing to see so many climatologists on here

H2O!!!!!!!

Another chance for the government to invent some sort of tax for it then . Maybe call it dissolved oxygen levy.

I still cannot believe that people in power are in denial with overwhelming evidence on the global warming and climate change. Yes jobs and industry are vital to a stable economy. Won't be much fuckin use though when planet earth is fucked! POTUS Act now!!

we used to put plants in our fishtank to create more oxygen. Everyone is harping on about planting billions of trees, let's start planting the seabeds as well.

CLIMATE HOAX explained by MIT Professor...

For a while now scientists have warned us and warned us. Yet still governments and industry have buried there heads in sand filled with corporate greed. Forget world wars an terrorism, climate change is by far the biggest threat to human kind.

Absolute complete and utter weapons' grade BS. Beyond the first micron (if that) of the ocean surface CO2 CAN NOT heat the ocean. PERIOD.

Vote to save our planet. VoteLabour12December for a green new deal! Friends of the earth are backing Labour's green plans

which scientists? say the fucking names or shut up

FakeNews

Damn fish using up all the 02, need to protest and tax them

We are all running out of oxygen. This should be top of the agenda. Why were there no questions on climate change in last night’s leaders debate - maybe because of BBC pro-Tory bias and the fact that the Tories so clearly have no credible policies.

Tell China and Japan

I won’t have to fly so far to go snorkelling now. Every cloud ..........

They are discussing it Dateline London. Interesting if, for example, there is issue on Russia, you can bet there will be a journo to take Putin's side - strongly. CC? The assumption is it's a real crisis. Wrong! We should have a contrary voice like with other issues.

Let marine life be saved by controlling the global warming. 🌞

Must’ve run out of oxygen in the Roman and Medieval Warm Periods too then.

Fake news

😂😂😂

Throw AOC in for a while. She should replenish the depleted oxygen.

So bad...!!

How nice!

More over the top BBC clickbait headlines

Don't vote Tory.

JC

We are all gonna get melted by the sun and evaporate into the space aren't we?

Look at the gulf waters last yr and the year before , sharks , fish 🐟, turtles u name it they died in masses due to farmers polluting the waters . And it still continues to this day in America , no lessons learnt nothing being done just our marine life being killed off .

The only one who is running out of oxygen is BBC News. More fake news tabloid trash.

Would that be a shark one of the many thousands just killed for there fin and just tossed away . Isn the Mediterranean Sea the most over fished in the world? Unless we look at population is going forward 🤷‍♂️

H2O

Trump and Republicans need to be voted out so we can save ourselves.

' scientists say'.

How can the ocean run outta oxygen.... ?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

vote Tory and it will get worse hey ho BBC - climate change not covered in the debate last night why do you pretend you care

Jesus Christ. This propaganda is relentless. Considering we are entering the coldest cycle for the next 11yrs this new political criminality well is criminal and the few crooks making money need to be arrested.

Friends of the Earth say Labour’s policies are the most climate friendly when they checked all party promises against a list of checks

Our planet is slowly dying, the generation now is robbing the young generation of a future!

but Trump said is not important ...that's incredible.

Well, I'm running outa money as prices and taxes rise

Whatever
