"Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed" By Mohandas K. Gandhi

Climate Change - The Impact in West Virginia
Throughout time. the oceans have been a source of life, beauty, and curiosity, but they face challenges. The ocean impacts climate change through heat regulation, carbon absorption, rising sea levels, oxygen production, and weather systems. Oceans drive weather patterns and global climate systems through currents and temperature regulation. Climate changing is reshaping our world. Even though West Virginia is far from coasts, the residents feel the ripple effects (especially farmers). Let's explore the connections between climate change and our oceans. How can we help protect our planet?C
Tidal Energy
Tidal energy has become a critical player as ocean levels rise and currents shift. However, climate change’s impacts on ocean patterns must be considered to maximize this resource responsibly.

Tsunamis
Rising sea levels amplify the devastation caused by tsunamis. Climate change’s role in melting glaciers and altering tectonic stress can indirectly influence tsunami risks, threatening coastal communities and ecosystems.
Red Tides
Harmful algal blooms, or red tides, are worsening with warmer oceans and increased nutrient runoff. These blooms disrupt marine life, impact fishing industries, and pose health risks to humans.
Ocean Warming
The oceans act as Earth’s thermostat, absorbing much of the planet’s heat. As they warm, coral reefs bleach, marine species migrate, and weather patterns become more unpredictable, challenging ecosystems and human livelihoods.
Dead Zones
Dead zones, areas depleted of oxygen, are expanding due to agricultural runoff and rising temperatures. Marine life struggles to survive, creating ripple effects through the food chain.
Hurricanes
Hurricanes are becoming more intense as ocean temperatures rise. Warmer waters fuel stronger storms, endangering coastal regions and leaving communities to rebuild in the aftermath.
Microplastics and Garbage Gyres
Our oceans are drowning in plastic. Microplastics harm marine life and enter our food chain, while massive garbage gyres symbolize humanity’s environmental footprint. Addressing waste and pollution is vital.
Ocean Acidification
Excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere dissolves into the oceans, lowering their pH. Acidification threatens shellfish, corals, and other marine species, jeopardizing entire ecosystems and industries.

Offshore Drilling
Extracting oil from beneath the seabed poses environmental risks, from spills to habitat destruction. Climate change emphasizes the need to transition away from fossil fuels and protect marine environments.
