Turning Up the Heat
The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the Marine Conservation Biology Institute (MCBI) present the full text of the report entitled "Turning up the Heat: How Global Warming Threatens Life in the Sea," written by Amy Mathews-Amos and Ewann A. Berntson. Scientific evidence suggests that marine species and ecosystems are already affected by global climate change. The consequences of global warming on marine life include the fact that some organisms cannot survive in warmer waters, while others may shift their distribution poleward.
