The world’s scientists are calling for immediate action to curb the causes of climate change, based on unequivocal data and models. The current sequence of natural disasters around the globe (wildfires, coral bleaching, algal blooms, floods, droughts) is clear evidence that we are living with the consequences of increased temperatures at the global level. Further, there is ample evidence that humans have altered the dynamics of ecosystem functions and services that ensure sustainable development for our civilization. For example, we do not know how many species are becoming extinct or fully understand the impacts of nutrient enrichment of our oceans, so it is difficult to predict with any certainty what effects these alterations will have. Exacerbating the situation is the recent rise in micro and macroalgal blooms, among the most disturbing of the new phenomena.
