« L’océan mondial, qui abrite la majorité des espèces vivantes sur Terre (50 à 80 % selon les estimations), génère plus de 60 % des services écosystémiques qui nous permettent de vivre, à commencer par la production de la majeure partie de l’oxygène que nous respirons. Il absorbe environ 30 % des émissions de CO2 générées par l’humanité, ce qui provoque son acidification.
L’océan mondial régule à plus de 80 % le climat de la Terre. Il joue un rôle majeur dans la température terrestre. »

The White House has instructed NASA employees to terminate two major, climate change-focused satellite missions. As NPR reports, Trump officials reached out to the space agency to draw up plans for terminating the two missions, called the Orbiting Carbon Observatories.

The team led by Robert Cowie, a research professor at the University of Hawaii, argues that the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species was too focused on the loss of bird and mammal species — and not focused enough on invertebrates, a much larger group.
