In a science fiction movie, dolphins flee the Earth through a mysterious passage because they know the Earth is about to be completely destroyed. But in reality, the dolphins may not be so lucky, Science magazine published an article on January 4, the experts of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of the United Nations warned that the ocean is dying, the oxygen in the ocean is being Astonishingly depleted, it may suffocate most of the creatures in the ocean.

The study comes from a scientific group of the working group of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of the United Nations, called the Global Ocean Oxygen Network. Researchers found that over the past 50 years, almost no oxygen in the open sea has quadrupled, while the estuarine and inland coastal areas, the figure has more than doubled to 10 times. This is undoubtedly fatal to the sea creatures. Without oxygen, they either flee or die, and can there be any mysterious path in the real world?

The rapid disappearance of oxygen in the oceans correlates with the rising sea temperatures, resulting in a decrease in the oxygen content of warm seawater while reducing the vertical mixing of surface and deep seawater, making it difficult for oxygen to reach deeper oceans; another reason is agriculture Excess nutrients in the effluent lead to algal growth and oxygen depletion during eutrophication.

Slight changes in the oceans and seas in the oceans can lead to huge ecological catastrophes. Without adequate oxygen, animal growth and reproduction can be affected, leading to disease and death. It may also lead to the massive release of nitrous oxide from organic processes into the air, the third largest greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide and methane. The greenhouse effect is 300 times stronger than carbon dioxide, resulting in a vicious cycle of global warming.

Oxygen depletion in the oceans is one of the most damaging effects of human activities on the Earth's environment. Species in which they live either suffocate or die of starvation, or migrate to other seas to eat them. No escape, no live. The ocean is dying, the ocean is turning into a cemetery, and where is the hope of human civilization?
