A changing climate kills things. No way.

That climate change may be creating oceanic bubbles of death should be unsurprising... manbearpig IS real. Enough said. What really piqued my interest however was a quick reread of the Fourth Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC), released just two years ago. It seems like the Nobel Prize winning organization failed to catalog increased wind speed as a climate driver for coastal systems. (See Chapter 6 Table 6.2)

Perhaps it was ment to fall under ‘storm intensity’, perhaps no one could have foreseen oxygen deprived expanses of the ocean devastating ecosystems, or maybe the IPCC is really as bad as they say. Joseph Romm, author of Hell and High Water, went so far as to suggest the IPCC’s last report became obsolete shortly after it was published. So when’s the next one due? 2014. If only the ocean could hold its breath until then.
