‘Ticking timebomb’: #sea acidity has reached critical levels, threatening entire #ecosystems
#OceanAcidification has crossed a crucial threshold for planetary health, scientists say.
Ocean acidification, called "evil twin" of #climatecrisis, is caused when #carbondioxide is absorbed by ocean, where it reacts with water molecules leading to a fall in #pH of #seawater. It damages #coral #reefs and other #ocean habitats and, in extreme cases, can dissolve the shells.

"while the largest change at the surface has been in the polar regions, the largest change at 100 m and 200 m has been in the sub-polar and low latitude regions. Subsurface oceans host highly diverse and biodiversity-rich ecosystems, with few species living solely at the ocean surface. These significant subsurface changes indicate a much larger potential impact on and the services they provide,

Vast areas of land are now dominated by one species – purple moor-grass – and good luck with seeing a bird or insect there.

An issue that I've not been aware of. The way we've used the land has caused tipping points to be exceeded to the detriment of ecosystems.

An important issue that will need political support to enable a complex solution, but will probably be ignored.
