While it is known that the ocean absorbs more than 90% of the planet s heat, it would be the end for some seabird species of the Arctic if waters continue to warm as much as twice the globe s rate. Unfortunately, Arctic seabirds are less tolerant to heat and more vulnerable to climate change, a new study found. McGill University researchers revealed that cold-adapted Arctic species such as the thick-billed murre are especially vulnerable to heat stress due to human-induced climate change.
