The Next Ocean: humanity's extra CO2 could brew a new kind of sea Interesting article in Science News on ocean acidification and how changes in ocean chemistry could have a profound effect on marine life and our lives. I know some of you are interested in this stuff and it seems there are more studies being put into papers so I'll post em up as I find em. The Royal Society's 68pg report on: Ocean acidification due to increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide Other reports from the Royal Society Anthropogenic ocean acidification over the twenty-first century and its impact on calcifying organisms (the original paper I referenced last year) A study showing some coccoliths may be better equipped to withstand higher pH levels. I'll have to look more into this one... Chalk one up for coccolithophores
