Developing ocean acidification policy
Ocean acidification differs from global warming in that its impact derives from the chemistry of carbon dioxide (CO2) in seawater, rather than from its physical action as a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. This means that even if the climate does not warm, increasing atmospheric CO2 will inevitably...

| Summary: | Ocean acidification differs from global warming in that its impact derives from the chemistry of carbon dioxide (CO2) in seawater, rather than from its physical action as a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. This means that even if the climate does not warm, increasing atmospheric CO2 will inevitably increase ocean acidity. |
