June 8 marks the occasion of World Oceans Day. Sorry to be a day late.

In 2008, the United Nations General Assembly made a decision that starting with 2009, June 9 would be designated by the United Nations as "World Oceans Day."

In this CBS Sunday Morning animated video essay by writer and narrator Robert Krulwich produced a video on the profound role of oceans in global climate change.  It is based on the work of Aatish Bhatia and animated by Nate Milton with music by Buck St. Thomas. 

The video may be seen here  (7m ).
