I haven't read the article. For the lazy, what sort of level of pH changes are we talking about? Would if affect me if I go swimming in the ocean?

- OopsCriticality 11y agoNot to be critical, but it is in the 1st paragraph: 8.2 (pre-industrial) to 7.8 (projected, 2100).
- japhyr 11y agoWould if affect me if I go swimming in the ocean? No, because you're a large adult organism. But if you were a tiny crustacean, you wouldn't be able to grow a shell. This affects tiny crustaceans, but also the young of large species such as king crabs.
- prawn 11y agoThe aquarium in Boston has a hands-on demo for kids about acidification impacting the ability of some creatures to grow their shell. Didn't see anyone else but my son and I trying it though. Hopefully the message gets through to more people, but I think too many people fail to see how it could impact them.
