As many of you are already aware, ocean acidification has become a major threat to the World's fragile ecosytems, and hence, to human existence as we know it. The reasearch is unequivocal.

Carbon dioxide does not just affect global warming. Ocean acidification is picking up pace, threatening entire marine ecosystems.
