High level of water pollution is more than just the present day pollutants as others may think. Causes of Water Pollution You may not be aware of it, but water f...</description></item><item><title>Carbon Dioxide Effecting Ocean Life</title><link>http://www.brighthub.com/environment/science-environmental/articles/33441.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 30 Apr 2009 14:31:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:33441</guid><dc:creator>nicolelamarco</dc:creator><description>Carbon dioxide has an effect on ocean life. It seems that the amount of carbon dioxide in the earth’s air is starting to have major effects on the ocean life throughout all of the earth’s seas. When there is carbon dioxide entering into the atmosphere the ocean absorbs it causing the water to become like an acid within the ocean which seems to be d...</description></item><item><title>Sierra Frogs - Will they Survive Global Warming?</title><link>http://www.brighthub.com/environment/science-environmental/articles/20688.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 15 Jan 2009 20:30:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:20688</guid><dc:creator>csc3819</dc:creator><description>Global warming was found to be one of the elemental causes for the massive disappearance of the Sierra frogs. Global warming climate changes and too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are only some of the causes that scientists found to have caused this environmental problem.
