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."

KILLER PLANKTON coming to beach near you!
Lol, noted.

The Babbling British Commies have spoken.
“The more you say a lie the more it becomes the truth”
Nope. A lie is always a lie.
The more a lie is told the more mouth-breeding, snot-gobbling, intellectually-inbred thumb-suckers will mistake it for truth, but it’s still and always a lie.
Useful Idiots. Useful because they’re stupid enough to believe commiescum propaganda. Idiots because they’re the first to be put up against a wall and shot if the commiescum win. That’s because the commiescum themselves know that anyone stupid enough to believe their idiotic bullcrap is stupid enough to believe anyone’s idiotic bullcrap so Useful Idiots will always be a danger.
And there’s this:
“Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”
- Theodore Dalrymple
Can’t recall where I got that quote at, but I suspect it was someone on FreeRep.

good
it’s not surprising they shift to the pole. A lot of animals do.

Scientists! They don't know so much that they know.
On top of that the phytoplankton have zippers too... Proof that they are harmful to humans.../s
Amazing what a few extra ppm of CO2 can do.
Climate change causes Alzheimer’s.
Stunning isn’t it?
Makes it more powerful than cyanide.
Japan has studied this issue after the great 2011 tsunami.

NHK had an excellent documentary last night about the increase in plankton.
Thank you Daffynition.
Will have a look later. :)
