Ocean's harmful low-oxygen zones growing, are sensitive to small changes in climate / UCLA Newsroom

The UCLA research team, led by assistant professor of atmospheric and oceanic sciences Curtis Deutsch, used a specialized computer simulation to demonstrate for the first time that the size of low-oxygen zones created by respiring bacteria is extremely sensitive to changes in depth caused by oscillations in climate.

Unless they have ruled out natural variability (as over multi-decadal ocean oscillations, and other appropriate natural cycles), such headlines are today worthless, even misleading, serving only to bolster one political viewpoint (Leftist climate alarmism) over others.
