PARIS (AFP) ? Pollution and global warming are pushing the world's
oceans to the brink of a mass extinction of marine life unseen for
tens of millions of years, a consortium of scientists warned Monday.

Dying coral reefs, biodiversity ravaged by invasive species, expanding
open-water "dead zones," toxic algae blooms, the massive depletion of
big fish stocks -- all are accelerating, they said in a report
compiled during an April meeting in Oxford of 27 of the world's top
ocean experts.

Sponsored by the International Programme on the State of the Ocean
(IPSO), the review of recent science found that ocean health has
declined further and faster than dire forecasts only a few years ago.

These symptoms, moreover, could be the harbinger of wider disruptions
in the interlocking web of biological and chemical interactions that
scientists now call the Earth system.

All five mass extinctions of life on the planet, reaching back more
than 500 million years, were preceded by many of the same conditions
now afflicted the ocean environment, they said.

"The results are shocking," said Alex Rogers, an Oxford professor who
heads IPSO and co-authored the report. "We are looking at consequences
for humankind that will impact in our lifetime."

Three main drivers are sickening the global marine environment, and
all are a direct consequence of humans activity: global warming,
acidification and a dwindling level oxygen, a condition known as
hypoxia.

Up to now, these and other impacts have been studied mainly in
isolation. Only recently have scientists began to understand how these
forces interact.

"We have underestimated the overall risks, and that the whole of
marine degradation is greater than the sum of its parts," Rogers said.
"That degradation is now happening at a faster rate than predicted."

Indeed, the pace of change is tracking or has surpassed the worst-case
scenarios laid out by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) in its landmark 2007 report, according to the new assessment.

The chain reaction leading to increased acidification of the oceans
begins with a massive influx of carbon into Earth's climate system.

Oceans act as a massive sponge, soaking up more than a quarter of the
CO2 humans pump into the atmosphere.

But when the sponge becomes too saturated, it can disrupt the
delicately balanced ecosystems on which marine life -- and ultimately
all life on Earth -- depends.

"The rate at which carbon is being absorbed is already far greater now
than during the last globally significant extinction of marine species
55 million years ago," when some 50 percent of deep-sea life was wiped
out, the report said.

That event, called the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, or PETM, may
be an ancient dress rehearsal for future climate change that could be
even more abrupt and more damaging, some scientists fear.

Pollution has also taken a heavy toll, rendering the oceans less
resilient to climate change.

Runoff from nitrogen-rich fertiliser, killer microbes, and
hormone-disrupting chemicals, for example, have all contributed to the
mass die-off of corals, crucial not just for marine ecosystems but a
lifeline for hundreds of millions of people too.

The harvesting up to 90 percent of some species of big fish and
sharks, meanwhile, has hugely disrupted food chains throughout the
ocean, leading to explosive and imbalanced growth of algae, jellyfish
and other "opportunistic" flora and fauna.

"We now face losing marine species and entire marine ecosystems, such
as coral reefs, within a single generation," said Daniel Laffoley,
head of the International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN)
World Commission on Protected Areas, and co-author of the report.

"And we are also probably the last generation that has enough time to
deal with the problems," he told AFP by phone.

"All five mass extinctions of life on the planet, reaching back more
than 500 million years, were preceded by many of the same conditions
now afflicted the ocean environment, they said. "

All these caused by human activity?

Heard anything about solar activity lately?

Tell you what...Send lots of money to Al Gore. He'll fix it.

Ohh absolutely, Al Gore will call out Superman to move the killer
asteroid into a safe orbit.

Why is it the rights doings? France is overfishing Bluefin, Japanese are
overfishing everything. These all right wing countries?

And it all boils down to over population. Too many hungry mouths for the
world to start. The worst pollution is too many humans.

Soilent Green was far ahead of it time.

People can't keep having 8 kids on land than can't support 80% of the
existing population and the selfish stupid parents can't raise them
properly. Unemployed, they lay around screwing anything with a vagina.
UN feeds today to make a bigger problem tomorrow. For profit and UN
empire building. Just ignores reality.

I would not doubt 5 billion or more people will die this century of
starvation or war for resources like food. Every one suffering because
of the UN is Useless Nations.

All it would take is a 3 year drought of Canada, US, Russia wheat
production. And billions would be looking to riot, kill, war, as might
as well before you starve to death.

Meanwhile US-Euro regime propaganda makes the middle east riots out to
be about democracy. It has squat to do with democracy. It has to do with
cost of food and family. They have no jobs, no pussy, no meaningful
income, waiting for a flour drop off to eat....just like cattle. You and
I, flour goes u $5 for 10 kilo, we grunt. They starve.

We need to consider he reality, too many human beings.

Take Haiti, stripped baron from over population. Yet no money in Gore or
Suzuki to get right to the over population problem is there when
billions can be raised by the UN..... profit on misery, the UN game.
Haiti ws predicted 30 years ago and UN ignored it.

Going to be a lot of suffering in the next 10,000 years as we either
mature socially or join the dinosaurs. And my SUT is the least of the
worlds worries with this.

What's your workable solution to control population?

Spay and neuter.

At birth. Leaving only 1/100 fertile and do this for 40 years or more
in places smaller than Texas with 180M people.

Trouble is, forcing them? Another option is to add sterility additives
to food and water.

So which is better? Sacrificing the rights of these people or letting
them bring in a starving kid that to survive has to learn how to steal,
kill and will likely also rape and riot? An ethical dilemma.

They hang and assassinate people for much less.

yeah, you're quite the humanitarian...

Got a better rational solution lets here it chimp?

Just because you're a chimp, doesn't make other people chimps.

Solution: education, gov't involvement through nudge policy

Yeah, you don't know about either.

Funny, the same crap that got us here is your solution?

Einstein said it right, doing the same thing and expecting different
results is insane.

So you insane chimp, have anything better than bull****? I know the
answer so I will ignore your reply.
