極端氣候開始陸續浮現,人為及自然因素相信均有份參與。在這層面上,我們有沒有辦法可以得知以往的氣候變化又是如何呢?371Please respect copyright.PENANACltHWg9oj2

本篇將會探討一下測量地球海洋溫度轉變的其中一一道辦法。371Please respect copyright.PENANAkVqQap4T3p

(圖2)二氧化碳是由一個碳原子(C)及兩個氧原子(O)而組成。371Please respect copyright.PENANA17Yp9rHnxu

用沒有讀過理科的角度來觀看,碳原子在自然界會以12C、13C及其他形式的狀態呈現,其中以12C呈現的方式佔大多數,達98.89%。而13C的比例則為1.11%。371Please respect copyright.PENANA0BUAtTG2T3
371Please respect copyright.PENANAJQgErAY2dZ
氧原子亦是同一道理,在自然界會以16O、18O及其他形式的狀態呈現。371Please respect copyright.PENANAZFHXv9kvIw

整個情形就像是明治香蕉朱古力一樣,雖然同是香蕉狀,但有極少數的朱古力會以黃金香蕉的方式呈現。371Please respect copyright.PENANAeWn4Ady2Yr

(圖3)位於深海的有孔蟲(Foraminifera)的外殼含有CaCO3物質。它們會與水產生反應,因而交換氧原子的呈現方式。371Please respect copyright.PENANA0AqdVZu4SQ

非常重要的是,這反應會隨著溫度提升而加速進行。371Please respect copyright.PENANA8iIcKIYhq1
371Please respect copyright.PENANAnAsD1Ae3fC
亦即是說,溫度越高的話,越多有孔蟲外殼的CaCO3物質會以18O的方式呈現。371Please respect copyright.PENANA8GZ1unqu1x

(圖4)科學家透過測量不同年代的孔蟲化石外殼的氧原子狀態,從而推論出不同時代的海洋溫度。371Please respect copyright.PENANAjEzgfzz9bX

從圖中可見,海洋的溫度正呈著不斷下降的趨勢。371Please respect copyright.PENANALEKJkw2ehI

海洋溫度會影響大海吸收二氧化碳的能力及內裡的生物鏈,而海洋溫度正不斷下降,究竟是好還是壞呢?371Please respect copyright.PENANAm7NRQDnkMB
