There is no doubt that we have changed Earth’s climate through our activities on a broad range of aspects that includes consequences for the atmosphere, the oceans, snow, ice, Earth’s fauna and ecosystems. CO 2 also has an additional effect: it makes the oceans more acidic when dissolved in seawater. mm increase every year.

The ocean has buffered our planet from the impacts of climate change, absorbing much of the carbon dioxide we’ve emitted and a substantial amount of the heat from our warming atmosphere. The ocean is getting higher and hotter; it holds less oxygen; and it’s becoming more acidic. We know the ocean will keep changing.
