The result could be an acceleration of impacts from humanmade greenhouse gas pollution: sea level rise, more intense droughts, and ocean acidification.
Viral predation on microbial cells is intense in the ocean water column and is likely to provide a keen source of selective pressure that favors microbial populations with diverse, rapidly evolving surface properties.
Moreover, because I am compelled to speak on behalf of the disenfranchised, But This Is Different also gives voice to our homeless, our veterans, and our mentally ill as its narrative guides us into a passion so intense that the oceans weep and the birds cease their singing.
The theory has been reinforced by computer simulations that produce more intense storms with rising ocean temperatures.
There is also geological data which indicates build up of toxins in the ocean during intense global warming events (Bralower, 2002).
Richard MacMichael, a coordinator at the museum, said that 104 years later, people still have intense feelings about the ocean liner and its fate.
"As I was getting over the intense physicality of the ocean," he said, "I look and walking down the beach is this young woman with an anteater on a leash, just out for a walk.
Researchers warned that Australian officials will have to step up efforts to curb controllable threats, such as coral-eating starfish, because they are easier to target than intense storms and rising ocean temperatures.
In contrast, major disturbances include large-scale wind events (such as tropical cyclones), long-lasting droughts, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, intense forest fires, epidemics, ocean temperature changes stemming from El Niño events or other climate phenomena, and pollution and land-use conversion caused by humans.
