	Emissions of CO2 driving rapid oceans 'acid trip' -- 300 million-year-old flashback http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1384488363 The world's oceans are becoming acidic at an "unprecedented rate" and may be souring more rapidly than at any time in the past 300 million years. In their strongest statement yet on this issue, scientists say acidification could increase by 170 percent by 2100. They say that some 30 percent of ocean species are unlikely to survive in these conditions. The researchers conclude that human emissions of CO2 are clearly to blame. The study will be presented at global climate talks in Poland next week.

You mean to tell me all that ocean plastic isn't absorbing excess carbon? That was the whole point!
