Three years later, energy production emerges as a force to be reckoned with by fishermen, clean energy advocates, those focused on the endangered Right Whale, and everyone who depends upon the Gulf of Maine (hereafter referred to as “GOM”) and its future. Sea levels are rising.

In the 1960s, scientists were warning that the burning of fossil fuels was releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which could have catastrophic consequences for the planet. We still have a long way to go in terms of transitioning to a clean energy economy and mitigating the worst impacts of climate change.

While this has moderated atmospheric and land temperatures to some degree, the ocean can’t keep this up, and its ability to regulate the climate becomes compromised as we continue to burn fossil fuels. Warmer water also expands and raises sea levels as well as holds less oxygen. There is no time for further delays.

The consequences of climate change are far-reaching—rising sea levels, more frequent and intense extreme weather events, shifts in ecosystems and biodiversity, disruptions in agricultural productivity and jeopardized human health.

Carbon pollution from fossil fuel use and land development have heated the atmosphere and ocean, leading to sea level rise, stronger storms, fisheries’ moving poleward, and widespread loss of sea ice and glaciers. We’ve heard so much about the effects of climate change on our ocean.
