Climate Change Is Literally Changing the Ocean’s Color

“Ocean blue” may no longer be the most accurate way to describe the planet’s waters. A new study published in Nature on Wednesday finds that the color of the ocean has changed significantly over the last 20 years—all due to climate change.

The color shifts, according to the new study, can’t be explained by natural factors alone. These changes have occurred across 56 percent of the world’s ocean, turning the waters greener over time (especially near the equator).

That color change seems to be the result of changes in the marine ecosystems—driven by climate change.

“I’ve been running simulations that have been telling me for years that these changes in ocean color are going to happen,” study co-author Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist at MIT, said in a press release. “To actually see it happening for real is not surprising, but frightening. And these changes are consistent with man-induced changes to our climate.”

How horrible!

Greener waters occur when there’s more life in the ocean—particularly phytoplankton, which grow abundantly in the upper ocean depths. That might sound good, but it’s actually a grim indicator. Phytoplankton play an essential role in capturing and storing carbon dioxide—so increases in carbon dioxide inevitably give rise to phytoplankton blooms. These explosions in population mean greener waters.

Got that? It’s bad to have more plankton, which is actually the number one thing for photosynthesis, more than ground based plant life. It’s actually a good thing, as it means there is less ocean pollution, which had gotten bad during the 20th Century, but, started getting cleaning in the 1990s. But, you know anything and everything is Bad in Climate Cult world. And they continue to scaremonger in the article, and all the other articles in various Credentialed Media outlets because they got their talking point memos. Nothing can ever be good, and it’s always 100% the fault of Mankind
