b) More extreme temperature are occurring

Explanation:

  • The ocean currents are like a conveyor belt that transports precipitation and warm water from the equator to the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics .
  • Ocean currents therefore regulate the global climate, helping prevent the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching to the surface of the Earth
  • With changes in the ocean currents or without ocean currents, the regional temperatures will be more extreme— very hot at the equator and frigid toward the poles—and much less of the Earth’s land will be habitable
  • Ocean currents impact the climate. Since it takes more energy to change the water temperature than air/land, water warms up and cools off more slowly than air/land. Consequently, inland climates experience more extreme temperature than coastal climates as coastal climates are insulated by adjacent water.
  • Increasing CO2 and other greenhouse gas ( GHG) emissions from human activities is having a disproportionate effect on the ocean.
  • This has resulted in  changes in the temperature of water ocean de-oxygenation and acidification, thereby leading to changes in oceanic currents/circulation, increased storm intensity, rising sea levels,  and changes in the abundance and diversity of marine specie
