pH in the Oceans - its dropping
As a direct result of Co2, and whether or not your believe in the causal link between global warming and Co2, it has been shown that Co2 is in fact causing the pH in the oceans to drop. This is bad news for all you little exoskeletal dudes out there, because it is going to be a lot harder to find the calcium you need to make your home. We really have no idea what effect this is going to have long term, but I dont think I need to be the one to say it would likely be better if it did not happen.
