Our Nature Comms paper just out: "The blues and greens of the ocean will become even bluer and greener by the end of the century as a result of global warming" - providing an early warning signal of changes to the ocean ecosystem #ClimateScience #phdchat theguardian.com/environment/…

Rising temperatures to make oceans bluer and greener

Scientists say effects of global warming on ‘phytoplankton’ will intensify the colours

CNN: "Katharine, are you rolling in the dough, is that why you're [working on climate change], you're just cashing in?" Katharine: "More like rolling on the floor laughing". Phenomenal on-point interview by @KHayhoe about new National Climate Assessment #NCA4. Go Katharine!

Scientist @KHayhoe who helped write the climate report says Trump's comments make her feel "frustrated." "You can say I don't believe in gravity. But if you step off the cliff you are going down. So we can say I don't believe climate is changing, but it is based on science."

Phytoplankton produce half the oxygen we breathe and form the base of the ocean food web. On Nov. 6, join president and CEO Deborah Bronk at Brunswick's Frontier Theater to learn how changes to #phytoplankton are recoloring Arctic and #GulfofMaine waters. ow.ly/Tydb30m4xso
