You push a bottle of plain ol’ tap water up to a nozzle that spurts CO2 into your water, making it bubbly and delicious. Now picture that happening to the oceans, all day, every day, and the result is distinctly less effervescent: Dissolved CO2 turns into carbonic acid turns into dissolving shellfish, stressed-out fish, fewer clouds, plummeting biodiversity, collapsed ecosystems, total annihilation. I may be leaving out a few details with the seltzer metaphor, but it turns out I’m not the only one short on particulars.

There are still a lot of unanswered questions when it comes to ocean acidification. Translation: Lots of scientists are already studying ocean acidification, but considering that it’s called “climate change’s evil twin,” we need to team up.
