Harrison Ford As Ocean; Climate Change Produces Larger Dead Zones; Mapping Ocean Acidity
Harrison Ford Is The Ocean. “But humans, they take more than their share. They poison me then they expect me to feed them. Well, it doesn’t work that way,” states Ford, Academy Award nominee and Conservation International’s vice chairman, as narrator of The Ocean.
Larger ‘dead zones,’ oxygen-depleted water, likely because of climate change. As the global temperatures warm, they will create conditions such as rain, wind and sea-level rise that will cause dead zones throughout the world to intensify and grow, the report says.
Groundbreaking Maps Detail Acidity of the Earth’s Oceans. Among other things, the maps show that the northern Indian Ocean is 10 percent more acidic than the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and that ocean water as far north as Iceland and as far south as Antarctica are acidifying by about 5 percent per decade, corresponding to the increase in carbon emissions.
