One example is the great barrier reef, when temperature rose a decade or two ago, there was a lot of bleaching and die off of corals, but now the coral reefs are rebounding and almost back to normal, underwater research has discovered that that those species of coral that were susceptible to higher temperatures have died off only to be replaced with other corals that are not.

The Greenhouse Effect―Vital for Life

A reason given for such changes is an intensification of the greenhouse effect, natural phenomena vital for life on earth. When energy from the sun reaches the earth, about 70 percent is absorbed, heating air, land, and p. 5sea. If it were not for this mechanism, the average surface temperature would be about zero degrees Fahrenheit (-18 degrees Celsius). Eventually, the absorbed heat is released back into space as infrared radiation, thus preventing the earth from overheating. But when pollutants change the composition of the atmosphere, less heat escapes. This can cause earth’s temperatures to rise.

Gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect include carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, as well as water vapor. The atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases has increased markedly over the past 250 years, since the start of the industrial revolution and the increased use of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil. Another greenhouse-enhancing factor seems to be the rising population of farm animals, whose digestive processes produce methane and nitrous oxide. Some researchers point to other causes of warming that they say occurred before humans could have influenced climate.

Just Another Fluctuation?

Skeptics of human-induced warming point out that earth’s temperature has undergone substantial fluctuations in the past. They point to the so-called ice ages, when the earth was supposedly much cooler than it is now; and in support of natural warming, they cite evidence that cold regions, such as Greenland, at one time supported vegetation that prefers warm areas. Of course, scientists concede that the further back they go, the more their certainty about climate diminishes.

What may have caused temperatures to vary significantly before human influence was a factor? Possible causes include sunspots and solar flares, which correlate with fluctuations in solar energy output. p. 6Additionally, earth’s orbit moves in cycles that take many thousands of years and that affect our planet’s distance from the sun. There is also the influence of volcanic dust and changes in oceanic currents.

Climate Modeling

The Arctic’s top predator, the polar bear, is affected both by the reduction in sea ice and by reduced stocks of its primary food, the ringed seal. Polar bears use sea ice as a platform for hunting their prey and for resting. They catch adult seals when they come up through the holes in the sea ice and search out the snow-covered ice caves of seal pups.

But sea ice is decreasing throughout their Arctic range due to climate change. Ice reduction decreases the abundance of seals, and increases the amount of energy and time needed for hunting, leaving less energy for reproduction. Rising temperatures mean that large areas of the ocean that were once frozen throughout the year now become open water. Polar bears often have to swim long distances between areas of stable ice.

Yes of course. For example when the ocean rise and fall by sometimes hundreds of feet, the shoreline migrates. This displaces shoreline creatures as well as deposits sands, silts and clays in consecutive layers depending on the direction of the migration etc. The cooling water will also determine the species that are present. Warm water species will tend to migrate toward the equator in times of cooling and vice versa.

Try checking 'carbon cycles in the oceans'.

here's one link that I found : http://www.gdrc.org/oceans/fsheet-02.htm...

You probably need to discern the difference between anthropogenic climate change and natural climate change. A true naturalist understands that humans evolved and are part of the "natural cycle" of things. This all will depend on how much 'you think' that humans can control and influence the climate.

first of all the climate is a static thing ( it stays in a similar pattern year long) did u mean weather?

second of all the ocean is a type of climate and the ocean stays the same. under the water there is a climate and no weather. and no the other climates would not affect the ocean climate, nor its species.

does that help?

Your searching ways are blocking you to find good stuffs on that subject. Overall yes. There are many good studies and websites on this subject on the internet.

learn to use google, lots of hits. Hint: site EDU are universities

I am doing this thing for science, and I need to know the answer to this question, I looked all over the internet but I couldn't find anything. Could some one please answer this question. But please don't just say yes, or no, I need to know some more information about it. Thanks.
