The ocean has absorbed nearly 33% of all greenhouse gas emissions and around 90% of the excess heat produced through climate change. It may seem like a good thing all around that the ocean is protecting us in this way, but the ocean actually pays a hefty price. Thanks for signing up for Ocean Conservancy emails.

There is no doubt that we have changed Earth’s climate through our activities on a broad range of aspects that includes consequences for the atmosphere, the oceans, snow, ice, Earth’s fauna and ecosystems. The cause of our changing climate is the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations that we have released into the air.

The IPCC has introduced a new high-end risk scenario, stating that a global rise “approaching 2 m by 2100 and 5 m by 2150 under a very high greenhouse gas emissions scenario cannot be ruled out due to deep uncertainty in ice sheet processes.”. We would see massive coastal erosion happening all around.

The increased intensity of storm surges coupled with the ineffectiveness of the coral reef barrier is leading to considerable coastal erosion in the Pacific Islands. Coastal erosion is occurring at an alarming rate within the Pacific Islands. Coastal change in the Pacific Islands. should be. [4] 3] Gombos, M.,

However, its authors leave a glimmer of hope in what could be a nod to governments ahead of COP26, that strong and sustained CO2 emissions reductions, as well as cuts to other planet-warming greenhouse gasses (GHG), would limit climate change. What’s to come. In some cities, the risks of heatwaves and serious flooding will increase.

25 might strike some as a drop in the Pacific Ocean toward repairing the planet, or even just Hawaii, but the 8 main islands, of the 137 island archipelago, had more than 9.5 million tourists last year, so maybe $68 Million (. tourists share hotel rooms) is a start.
