An increase in carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere has been linked to changes in the circulation and biological activity of the oceanic waters surrounding Antarctica.
Health Effects of Global Warming
Greenhouse effect causes excessive heat to build up in the earth’s atmosphere causing global warming and affects the environment and health.

However, a growing concentration of the isotope 13C in the air during the last de-glaciation indicates that this carbon from decomposition of organisms was released from the southern polar waters, where the Antarctic Circumpolar Current transports more water than any other current in the world. Here, oceanic circulation is increasing in intensity and the deep water is releasing carbon dioxide at the surface.

Modest Increase in Urban Parks Could Equalize Global Warming Until 2080s
A modest increase in the number of urban parks and street trees in our major cities could offset decades of predicted temperature rise.
