most devastating impact yet of human-caused global warming

"Scientists may have found the most devastating impact yet of human-caused
global warming — a 40% decline in phytoplankton since 1950 linked to the rise
in ocean sea surface temperatures. It may represent the single most important
finding of the year in climate science."

“Plankton found in the world’s oceans are crucial to much of life on Earth.
They are the foundation of the bountiful marine food web, produce half the
world’s oxygen and suck up harmful carbon dioxide.”
