Informative article about the rise of ocean acidity in recent years, and its impact on the environment. This report cites recent findings from the University of Chicago and Columbia University, among others, which suggest that ocean acidification could decimate corals and a large number of other species. Thoughtful and well-documented article on an important issue.

Without giving opponents ground to complain of excessive predictions of disaster, Leahy presents a good introduction to the issues--and questions surrounding--acidification of the oceans. Findings from the most northwestern point of continental US warrant a certain amount of alarm.

very factual, this story also includes the reservations and unknowns regarding the increase in ocean acidity and the loss of mussels and other shellfish in the study area. unfortunately the global/climate crisis has been less conspicuous lately with so much news of the financial crises that appear more pressing. there is a warning here that the oceans will be very different in 20 years, but not one about the future economic picture if attention is not paid here.

The article provides simple explanations to the crisis of ocean acidification motivated by the new study of mussels.

Good story but doesn't address the principle problem. It isn't limiting CO2, it's limiting population, but maybe that's too scarey for some people

An important warning about what could very well eventuate over the whole ocean
