It's Not Only Marine Life That's Threatened.


A recent report from Cornell University in New York revealed that in 2013 millions of Starfish along the Pacific coast from Mexico to Alaska died from the effects of global warming.

 To quote, ''They succumbed to a wasting disease. It began with white lesions on their limbs, the dissolution of surrounding flesh, the loss of limbs and finally death.'' 

The researchers found that the die off of the starfish matched the pattern of heat spreading through the ocean and that the world’s oceans have absorbed more than 90 per cent of the atmospheric heat humans have caused by releasing greenhouse gases. 

The report did not mention that it isn't marine life alone which is threatened with extinction by the effects of global warming - the Human Race is too.
