Since global weather last few years made warming detectable
exclusively on the poles and perhaps some other places out of reach
for verification, now the public will be told about the acidification of
the oceans.

Global warming has been thoroughly detectable in Australia recently.
Some parts of southern Australia are temporarily inaccessible because
of
the recent bushfires, but rest of the continent welcomes tourists.

I wonder how long the anouncement how this is detectable only in open
sea, perhaps again only close enough to the poles, will take...

If you went to the trouble of learning a little about what was
actually going on you wouldn't have the same need to exercise your
imagination.

The interesting point about ocean acidification is that - at the
moment - the oceans seem to be taking up about half the carbon dioxide
we are emitting by burning fossil fuels. If the oceans get too acid,
the single-celled animals that now take up dissolved carbon dioxide to
form their calcium carbonate shell, which eventually sinks down to the
depths of the ocean, won't be able to do this any more, and most of
the carbon dioxide we emit will go the atmosphere.

More acid or less alkaline?
