[font size=4]Scientists reveal how Earth’s oxygen could dramatically fall due to change in ocean temperature of just several degrees[/font]

[font size=3]Falling oxygen levels caused by global warming could be a greater threat to the survival of life on planet Earth than flooding, according to research led by Professor Sergei Petrovskii from the Department of Mathematics.

The study shows that an increase in the water temperature of the world’s oceans of around six degrees Celsius – which some scientists predict could occur as soon as 2100 - could stop oxygen production by phytoplankton by disrupting the process of photosynthesis.

About two-thirds of the planet’s total atmospheric oxygen is produced by ocean phytoplankton – and therefore cessation would result in the depletion of atmospheric oxygen on a global scale, which could threaten the mortality of animals and humans.

1. from everything I've read could be reached as early as 2050

2. I don't see how this can be prevented at this point

I hope the ptb sit up and pay attention and make an all out attempt to mitigate this.
