Shaughnessy and Miriam Goldstein of the Center for American Progress talk about the recent United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on how climate change and is impacting our oceans and the cryosphere. She explains why plastics as a product of fossil fuels are a double whammy to our oceans and how  warming ocean waters, ocean heatwaves and acidification, and melting glaciers are all symptoms of climate change and amplify the effects we feel in stronger storms and threats to ocean ecosystems and food sources.
