Human-induced climate change is triggering changes beneath the waves that could have a long-term effect on marine food webs, a study suggests.
An assessment of phytoplankton in the North Atlantic found the microscopic organisms' pole-ward shift was faster than previously reported.
It observed that the ocean's tiny plant community was "poised for marked shift and shuffle".
The findings appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"Marine phytoplankton are crucial in marine food webs and global biogeochemical cycles and they are incredibly diverse but we don't really have a sense of what all the different organisms do when you modify climate, or even through natural climate variability," explained co-author Andrew Barton, a researcher at Princeton University, working at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory.
He told BBC News: "This study attempted to get a handle on how all these different kinds of organisms may respond to anthropogenic climate change over the coming century."

The media is the enemy
There is no news only lies
The commie libs looking and hoping for something that will stick by throwing dog turds at the wall.
They have the things belt fed.
In other words, "for all we know, this could be due to natural climate variability."
This gets easier all the time.
The more you say a lie the more it becomes the truth
"In fact, climate change is directly related to the growth of terrorism," said Sanders.
"And if we do not get our act together and listen to what the scientists say, you're going to see counties all over the world...they're going to be struggling over limited amounts of water, limited amounts of land to grow their crops, and you're going to see all kinds of international conflict."
Sanders said at the second Democratic debate in Iowa that climate change poses the biggest threat to America's national security and to security of the world. ..."
It’s here. It’s there. Climate change is everywhere! It’s in the sky. It’s in the sea. Why would I lie? You can believe me!
Yep.
They will persist with this nonsense until the end of time.
“The media is the enemy. There is no news only lies.”
Nailed it. And it’s all about getting more taxes for them to swim in more of the gold. They are blood drinking vampires.
Oh good grief, enough already! ;-)
That needs a special kind of stupid to make that connection.
That on its own warrants a ten year study....
What is trumps opinion of global warming crap?
When the ice melted and it was all water ... the water level was on the same line
I don't care if both poles go tropical and WE become the arctic .... IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE .... NEW YORK CITY IS NOT GOING TO SINK INTO THE OCEAN !
The skeptics are winning, time to up the ante.
...no idea.
I doubt he believes it.
If I ever meet him i’ll ask. :)
On Environment: “Good development enhances the environment,”
“Climate Change is a hoax,” and “No Cap-and-Tax.”
“...we don’t really have a sense of what all the different organisms do when you modify climate, or even through natural climate variability...”
Sorry not scary enough. They should have included pictures of Godzilla in the article.
Going to have to checkout the rest of their tracks now.... :)
