We take in oxygen and process it through tiny mitochondria (also known as the power houses of the cell) and expel carbon dioxide—a method that powers the rest of our bodies and gets rid of waste. Fish and many other ocean animals use gills , branching organs that have many, many small blood vessels called capillaries.

The only region of cooling is the northern Atlantic, where climate models have long predicted just that due to a slowing of the Atlantic Ocean overturning circulation. The heating of the global ocean has been going on at a steady rate of nine zeta Joules per year for decades , which is 15 times the worldwide primary energy consumption.
