Title: Ocean Acidification: The Climate Change Buffer, But another Environmental Disaster in the Making - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Description: After attending the talk "Ocean Acidification - The Other CO2 Problem" here at COP19 in Warsaw, it is quite clear that there is another significant issue concerning climate change. About one-quarter of the human-made CO2 emissions have been absorbed by oceans creating yet another environmental problem of global concern. We are changing seawater chemistry through a type of carbon sequestration. This creates a potential environmental disaster in the ocean and delays the inevitable temperature rise associated with our CO2 emissions. Starting with the impact from the ocean's perspective -- CO2 is absorbed and dissolved in water which forms carbonic acid. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
