NEWS
Whatever The Warming, Ocean Acidifies From Carbon-dioxide Buildup
ScienceDaily (2007-03-27) — A new study indicates that future changes in ocean acidification caused by atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions are largely independent of the amount of climate change caused by those emissions.

Ocean Acidification And Its Impact On Ecosystems
ScienceDaily (2008-05-29) — Emissions of carbon dioxide through human activities have a well known impact on the Earth’s climate. What is not so well known is that the absorption of this carbon dioxide by the oceans is causing inexorable acidification of sea water. But what impact is this phenomenon having on marine organisms and ecosystems?

Acidifying Oceans Add Urgency To Carbon Dioxide Cuts
ScienceDaily (2008-07-06) — It’s not just about climate change anymore. Besides loading the atmosphere with heat-trapping greenhouse gases, human emissions of carbon dioxide have also begun to alter the chemistry of the ocean. The ecological and economic consequences are difficult to predict but possibly calamitous, warn a team of chemical oceanographers, and halting the changes already underway will likely require even steeper cuts in carbon emissions than those currently proposed to curb climate change.

Global Scientists Draw Attention To Threat Of Ocean Acidification
ScienceDaily (2009-02-05) — More than 150 leading marine scientists from 26 countries are calling for immediate action by policy-makers to sharply reduce carbon dioxide emissions so as to avoid widespread and severe damage to marine ecosystems from ocean acidification.

Carbon Sinks Losing The Battle With Rising Emissions
ScienceDaily (2009-03-21) — The stabilizing influence that land and ocean carbon sinks have on rising carbon emissions is gradually weakening, scientists who attended the international Copenhagen Climate Change Conference.

Coral Reefs Exposed To Imminent Destruction From Climate Change
ScienceDaily (2009-07-16) — Leading ocean scientists and climate change experts agreed on a new level of atmospheric carbon dioxide that would need to be achieved to ensure the survival of coral reefs.

Ocean Acidification: Impact On Key Organisms Of Oceanic Fauna May Be Worse Than Predicted
ScienceDaily (2009-09-17) — In addition to global warming, carbon dioxide emissions cause another, less well-known but equally serious and worrying phenomenon: ocean acidification. Researchers have just demonstrated that key marine organisms, such as deep-water corals and pteropods (shelled pelagic mollusks) will be profoundly affected by this phenomenon during the years to come.

Increased Ocean Acidification In Alaska Waters, New Findings Show
ScienceDaily (2009-08-14) — The same things that make Alaska’s marine waters among the most productive in the world may also make them the most vulnerable to ocean acidification. According to new findings, Alaska’s oceans are becoming increasingly acidic, which could damage Alaska’s king crab and salmon fisheries.
