numbers on the ocean acidity have not been released but are showing a much faster decrease of PH in the Ocean than expected.


She said that scientists are stunned at the development and are somewhat speechless.

When the Arctic Ocean has no ice to transfer heat into, summer air temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere will begin to rise at an alarming rate.
