Medicine & TechnologyMany species on Earth depend on oxygen, and extreme deoxygenation could end them, including humans, due to suffocation. Continue reading to learn more.
New models in a recently published study found mid-ocean depths that support a lot of global fisheries are already losing oxygen at unnatural rates and passed a crucial threshold of loss of oxygen last year.
Scientists found that the lack of oxygen on the Caribbean coral reef is affecting marine life. Macro-organisms have avoided the deoxygenated water, but those who did not end up suffocated.
A study predicts the sun's aging will result in a reaction in the atmosphere that will increase global temperatures and kill plant life resulting, in the Earth's deoxygenation in a billion years.
