Talk: Living with oceans on a hotter world
Over the coming decades, oceans will continue to absorb the extra heat from the atmosphere, owing to our greenhouse gas pollution. This is already having a dramatic impact on marine ecosystems, from dying reefs to storm battered coastal erosion, to Arctic ice melt and rising sea levels. Divers are some of the first people to observe and document these changes, and they are also some of the first responders on the forefront of repair. This talk will look at how we expect the world’s oceans to change, how that will impact people, and some of the ways we can combat the damage.
