ALARMING OCEANS CHEMISTRY



A glimpe into the future of the oceans is alarming as increasing concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere make sea water more acidic.

Natural phenomenal Carbondioxide bubbles, dissolve in water to form "Carbonic Acid" and streams of volcanic giant-jacuzzi-like CO2 bubbling from deep under the seabed.

Anthropogenic activities are today turning oceans more acidic, changing at a rate faster than it's changed in 10's or 100's of million of years, the "Ocean Chemistry", thereby making the acidity hurting the local sea animals, fish and corals, which in turn overtime would not be able to cope with the expected World Oceans CO2 levels this century.
