Ocean acidification is the lowering of seawater pH over time, as the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide (CO 2 ... Carbonate concentrations drop as the oceans acidify, and this drop has been linked to ...

Until now, 90 per cent of the excess heat created by greenhouse gas emissions has been drawn down into the ocean, but this capacity for heat absorption is now being lost, which could lead to longer ma ...

This leads to a lowering of the water's pH, making the ocean more acidic. Carbon dioxide is being produced faster than nature can remove it, so increasing amounts are being absorbed by the ocean. Many ...
