Ocean Acidification

According to data from the IPCC, since the 1980s the oceans have absorbed 20 to 30 percent of total anthropogenic CO2 emissions. 7.7 pH value By the year 2100, today’s average pH value in the oceans could drop [...] succeeded in reducing emissions to zero, it would take millennia for the oceans to fully recover from anthropogenic changes. As such, the fateful trio of warming, acidification and hypoxia will continue to plague
