The study predicts that if greenhouse gas emissions continue at Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5, then 95% of ocean surface climates could disappear by 2100.

Researchers say volcanoes once stabilised Earth’s temperature

The study, published in Nature Geoscience, says chains of volcanoes both created and removed carbon dioxide, stabilising Earth's temperature - but "the results do not mean that nature will save us from climate change”.

IPCC Report: The reality of climate change in undeniable terms

The IPCC released an extensive report on the current state of the world's climate and the changing planet, but what did it say about the future of our oceans?
