In addition to the famous impacts of atmospheric carbon on global warming, there is an equally worrisome effect of carbon dioxide on the oceans: ocean acidification (or OA for short). Here at I2SEA we have a series of resources about OA, including Our Acidifying Ocean, which is an introductory activity and virtual lab (note: now mobile compatible!).
A student suggested that we start a conversation topic about OA, and here it is! Have you heard about Ocean Acidification? If so, are you worried about it? How do you think we can best raise awareness about it among your fellow students and the general public? Have you seen particularly good links or films about OA that you would like to share? What are you doing to address the problem?

Food sources
Ocean Acidification has gotten very bad in the recent years and soon because of all the co2 in the ocean we may not have a source of seafood. Many people depend on seafood and so do many jobs so this could greatly affect our communities and society as a whole. Many people could go starving, many species could go extinct, many people could loose their jobs and all of these may reduce the population of humanity.
I agree that Ocean Acidification is very harmful to the planet and many species. It also kills a lot of coral reefs therefore, killing the fish like you said. Like a domino effect.
