This document discusses ocean acidification as one of the main problems of climate change. It defines ocean acidification as the continuous lowering of pH in the Earth's oceans due to increased concentrations of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning and land use. Some examples of impacts include effects on shelled organisms and the economy. Possible solutions proposed include reducing carbon dioxide emissions, improving ocean management, reducing carbon footprints, and increasing information about ocean acidification.
2. One of the main problems of climate change
What it is ocean acidification?
Directly related to the atmosphere, causing a
change in the matter
A chemical change in the water due to excess
absorbed CO2 (carbon dioxide)
