Oceans give a warning of the planet’s ecology in danger

These symptoms, moreover, could be the harbinger of wider disruptions in the interlocking web of biological and chemical interactions that scientists now call the Earth system….

 we are also probably the last generation that has enough time to deal with the problems,

Oceans in distress, mass extinctions. The Age, Marlowe Hood ,  June 21, 2011 Pollution and global warming are pushing the world’s oceans to the brink of a mass extinction of marine life unseen for tens of millions of years, a consortium of scientists warn.
