| Scientists who study the oceans say the effects of climate change are already being seen in the world's ocean. From acidification and warming temperatures, to sea-level rise and sea-ice loss, Ira Flatow and guests look at how the oceans are changing with changes in climate. We're broadcasting this week from the National Council for Science and the Environment's "Our Changing Oceans" conference in Washington, DC. |
