How the ‘evil twin’ of the climate crisis is threatening our oceans; In seas around the world pH levels are falling – and scientists are increasingly frustrated that the problem is not taken seriously
The great thing about low pH oceans is that it would snowball so quickly once it gets past a certain threshold, that we would have barely any time to react. It would kill us all in a matter of months at most.
Yeah, more CO2 in the atmosphere and higher temps would be absolutely terrible but somewhat "livable", but acidic oceans ? If most plankton and algae die, we're done and there would be nothing we could do about it.
We can't even work together to stop genocides being broadcast live. Any hope of working together to protect the environment, especially when it is unprofitable and requires sacrifices to standard of living, is a pipe dream.
