Both Arctic Ice Melt and Ocean Acidification Are Happening Much Faster Than Previously Predicted

"On the global scale a new study in the journal Science finds that, just as Arctic ice is melting faster than predicted even a few years ago, ocean acidification also resulting from fossil-fuel fired climate change is accelerating faster than predicted with some areas off North America's West Coast now reaching levels of acidity that had not been predicted to occur before 2050." - excerpt from Blue Notes #46 by the Blue Frontier Campaign.
