https://t.co/DXOoJZFjap I always thought the moon was just floating debris in space that got caught in Earth's orbit, but would never have guessed it was made by magma like this article suggests. #Biogeo2019

@a_giacchetti I'm sure there's plenty more debris and plastics in the ocean than in freshwater bodies and that definitely contributes. The ocean is also just receiving overall more drastic changes i believe which is another key factor. #biogeo2019

https://t.co/vnCaGrNAjP Ocean acidification is causing harm to many coastal areas. These effects are causing harm to the marine life and to all the people that rely on the marine life for their livelihoods. #biogeo2019

[Jack Barowski @BarowskiJack]

@LexiSims9 It's a big problem in the ocean as well. Some things biodegrade, while plastics photo-degrade; which means they never actually leave the ecosystem and can cause harm just be remaining there. #biogoeo2019

https://t.co/xBHbT1eBQY Theres been a discovery of a soil bacteria that builds an enzyme that destroys nitrous oxide. Its the only bacteria of its kind, and could be huge in reducing the global warming threat. #biogeo2019

@ajsmyth17 Its a vicious positive feedback loop that we need to monitor closely in my opinion, otherwise it could be devastating. #biogeo2019

https://t.co/81XLUnHod6 the oldest ice core on earth was found (over 1.5 million years old), and scientist want to study it to gain a better understanding of what may happen when the earth is alternating between cold and hot periods. #biogeo2019

[Jack Barowski @BarowskiJack]

@HeidiSimoneau That's interesting that Canada would be the fastest, I would have thought there were places more covered in ice. Anyhow, perfect example of a positive feedback loop, not that it's all too positive in retrospect #biogeo2019

https://t.co/emehKZ71Vf Studies show that there have been global warming events in the past, however this study shows that there never has been one quite this fast. It also shows that the CO2 levels are the highest that have been recorded in 3 million years. #Biogeo2019

@LexiSims9 That's frightening, I wonder how this will affect fish movement and fishing industries in the arctic. #Biogeo2019

[Jack Barowski @BarowskiJack]

@jkneis14 @UPI If anything, that will be great news to many to hear that the important landscapes and habitats can be rebuilt by natural processes. #biogeo2019

https://t.co/lMRmntceka Mangroves are experiencing many threats that are putting them at risk including sea level rise, pollution, invasive species, and mono-culture planting for reforestation. They are expected to move in land to combat some, but not all, of these. #biogeo2019

https://t.co/ATAqbiGgIF Water bird habitats are being diminished by climate change and pollution. Their current habitats are either being destroyed by pollutants, or rain patterns change causing them to be uninhabitable. These changes are putting species at risk #biogeo2019

@AlissaShea7 This article is a great introduction to why we need our atmosphere and why we need to stop harming it the way we are in our lifetime. #biogeo2019

https://t.co/Rl6zdsKdLB scientists are planning to launch a satellite into outer space to monitor how crops use water and how they respond to drought. They do this in hopes it reveals more sustainable methods for future crop production. #biogeo2019

[Jack Barowski @BarowskiJack]

@madisonalstede It's concerning as a habitat loss for animals and as a threat to our coastal areas as sea levels rise. I hope a solution to minimize this damage is found as soon as possible. #biogeo2019

[Jack Barowski @BarowskiJack]

https://t.co/uUvoofYWog Ongoing extinction rate is ever more concerning, especially with our most abundant animal, the insect. Scientist are continuing to discover more and more species of insects. Although more are being found, key stone species are still a concern. #biogeo2019

[Jack Barowski @BarowskiJack]

@HeidiSimoneau I'm surprised that they still expect there to be ice in 2100 at this rate. I would have expected there to be a very minimal amount of ice left already compared to what there once was. #Biogeo2019

[Jack Barowski @BarowskiJack]

https://t.co/srdEi96F3A Earth is producing GHGs about 9-10x faster than it was in the thermal maximum time period. We are expected to reach the highest GHG levels in 56 million years in just a mere 140 years from now. #Biogeo2019

@AlissaShea7 It's really interesting how it measures the amount of pollution. Using the light spectrum to measure the amount of sunlight reflected and scattered to determine the amount of pollution. #Biogeo2019
