This story was originally published by The Guardian and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Global heating has made the ocean around the equator less rich in wildlife, with conditions likely already too hot for some species to survive, according to a new study. Analysis of the changing locations of almost 50,000 marine species between 1955 and 2015 found a predicted impact of global heating—species moving away from the equator—can now be observed at a global scale. The study said further global heating, which is now unavoidable, would cut the richness of species in the ocean in tropical regions even further. Scientists said the consequences of the shift could be profound and would be challenging to predict.
