Ocean Acidification - Carbon dioxide is putting oceans at risk

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ocean acidification is a global ecological issue, tightly connected with carbon dioxide emissions, which once released into the atmosphere ultimately end up in the oceans, acidifying water - leading to critical changes in the chemistry of the oceans and threatening the oceanic flora and fauna. Although, not so evident as other environmental issues, such as global warming, greenhouse gases or air pollution, scientists state that ocean waters are acidifying at a rate that is many times faster than millions of years ago. To find out more about ocean acidification, its possible impact on marine life and ecosystems read this book.
