Then there are the known buffering effect of greenhouse gases in the oceans and the polar ice. The oceans store CO2 in the cooler layers. In Warming the oceans provide the CO2 back into the atmosphere. The temperature threshold I do not know unfortunately. But as the oceans are incredibly large, takes effect this release delayed considerably. New measurements from the Leibniz Institute show dedicated to the capture buffer for CO2, for example, in the Atlantic is not reduced as quickly as expected, the buffer shifts even in the deeper layers. So I made a good message!
The really useful effect is also negative and barely manageable impact on the marine life. Dissolved CO2 leads to acidification of the water. Kalkbildner such as corals, but also some microscopic plankton species have more and more difficult to form their skeletons, the scientists report in the journal PNAS (online publication). Because these were on the top of the food chain, have to develop far-reaching consequences for entire ecosystems in the sea.
