Ocean Heat and CO2
The oceans play a crucial role in absorbing heat and carbon dioxide, which helps mitigate atmospheric warming. However, this dual function leads to ocean acidification, negatively affecting marine organisms sensitive to pH changes. As the ocean's acidity increases, vital processes like calcification and reproduction in many sea creatures are threatened, highlighting the complex challenges posed by climate change.In this clip
