The Vital Role of the Oceans in Climate Change

The Vital Role of the Oceans in Climate Change

Presentation description:

This presentation will cover some basic Climate Change concepts, from past and present and what it all means for our future. In particularly, I would like to address the role the Oceans play in mitigating much of the causes of climate change and how scientists today are studying the Oceans intensely to find clues as to how the consequences of climate change will play out for our future.
