A Danger in our Oceans
Greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, play a crucial role in regulating the temperature of the earth. However, since the industrial revolution, the increased burning of fossil fuels has resulted in a significant increase in GHG concentration. The ocean acts as a carbon sink, absorbing exces...
