This shows that climate change is not just happening, it is already at extreme levels.
This connects to this week’s lecture about accelerating climate effects.
mankind has increased the acidity of our ocean by 30%
This number is surprising and shows how much human activity has already changed the ocean. It connects to this week’s discussion about human impact on natural systems.
Do you think ocean acidification is talked about enough compared to global warming?
