Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze oceanic pollution and its influence on global climate variability. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: Oceanic pollution, including plastics, oil spills, heavy metals, and chemical contaminants, significantly impacts global climate variability. These pollutants harm marine ecosystems, disrupt food webs, and contribute to climate change. Plastic debris poses a severe threat to marine life, while oil spills devastate coastal environments. Heavy metals and chemical contaminants bio accumulate in marine organisms, posing risks to human health and altering biogeochemical processes essential for climate regulation. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Ocean-atmosphere interaction theory, pollutants as climate forcers theory & feedback loop theory of oceanic pollution may be used to anchor future studies on oceanic pollution and its influence on global climate variability. Implement practical measures to reduce oceanic pollution, including stricter regulations on waste disposal, improved waste management infrastructure, and the promotion of sustainable consumption practices. Foster collaboration among nations to address oceanic pollution on a global scale.
