The story

A report compiled by 80 scientists from 12 countries says the global impact of ocean warming has been severely underestimated.

The study launched by the International Union for Conservation of Nature suggests that climate change is pushing plankton, jellyfish, turtles and seabirds into waters previously too cold to support them.

Dan Laffoley – BBC News

This warming has real consequences for us and our livelihoods. One of the things which is different with this report than anything we’ve done before is taking this comprehensive view.

One of the priorities should be actually to build on this report, to have a discussion around the evidence that we’re showing and actually then to work to, to plan for the future with the information that we know we’ll need to be able to cope when we see [a] progressive changes from a warming ocean.
