Stop Global Warming's Evil Twin

But what's the price to the oceans? Save our oceans from devastating acidification. » The acidity of ocean water has risen by 30 percent over the last 250 years, and it's getting worse by the day. Higher acidity means less carbonate in the water, and less carbonate in the water means organisms like shellfish and coral can't develop sturdy skeletons. If dramatic measures aren't taken to stabilize ocean pH levels, high enough acidity could actually cause shellfish and coral to dissolve. Some people call it "The Other Carbon Problem" or "Global Warming's Evil Twin." Others simply call it one of the gravest threats to marine diversity. No matter what you call it, it's exacting a price from our oceans that neither ecology nor humanity can afford to pay. We can't wait any longer -- ask the EPA to regulate and decrease greenhouse gas emissions today. » Thanks for taking action!
