Ocean Acidification from Our Carbon Dioxide Emissions
- "The basic chemistry of our oceans is changing as they absorb carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by human activities. This decrease in the ocean's pH and the resulting increase in acidity is called ocean acidification. Present evidence suggests that dramatic changes in the marine environment over the next 100-200 years can be avoided only with early and deep reductions in carbon dioxide emissions." - excerpt from the World Ocean Observatory email announcement of their Ocean Acidification event..
