Description

We already know that warmer water is bleaching the coral of the Great Barrier Reef, but just recently it was discovered that there's a new threat to the reef's survival: carbonic acid. It's only been in the science journals for the last few years but ocean acidification is a time bomb. In this video clip, learn about a problem that could wreak havoc on marine life around the world. While the focus of global warming was been on CO2 levels above sea level, ocean acidification is a side effect of putting too much carbon dioxide into the skies.
