The big blue, it's too big to be affected by humans?

Don't we wish!

This is how ocean acidification works.


It's the lag time that's the elephant in the room... and that's why the climate scientists are so adamant to get serious steps underway NOW while the effects are hardly noticeable yet, because once the effects really start showing, it's too late to use the brakes.
It's the lag time that's the true killer. As the people in the article are noticing now. And we are already locked in for another 50-some years of increasing emissions. We are already locked in to that, over and above what they are experiencing now.

I wish these kinds of articles ended up on the front pages of newspapers. It's that important.
