Sea Sick: The Global Ocean in Crisis
~ by
Alanna Mitchell Sea Sick
explains how the global ocean — 99 per cent of the planet's living space
— is undergoing vast chemical changes at the hand of humans and why that
matters.
In a nutshell, some of the carbon dioxide we are putting into the air
by burning fossil fuels is being absorbed by the ocean. That reverts it
to a state it has not been in for millions of years: more acid, warmer,
and more prone to vast oxygen-deprived dead zones. At risk is the very
structure of life in the ocean and therefore, on the planet as a whole.
Alanna was our guest speaker at the Earth
Day Service
