The Acid Test

“Ocean acidification is pollution of the sea on a global scale and one of the greatest threats to healthy oceans ecosystems. It’s yet another consequence of the world’s addiction to fossil fuels. Governments must make urgent and deep cuts in carbon dioxide emissions now, before it’s too late” Frida Bengtsson, Oceans campaigner, Greenpeace Nordic
