It has been reported that by the Seattle researchers that the acidity of the pacific ocean has been rising. The researchers say that acidic water has appeared along the Pacific Ocean decades earlier than expected. This may be due to the change in the climatic conditions as carbon dioxide turns the ocean acidic. In some areas the water was corrosive enough to dissolve the shells of clams, coral and tiny creatures that are crucial to the food chain.
Off Northern California, acidified water was found four miles from shore. Acidification of oceans results from the same increase in carbon dioxide in the air that has been blamed for raising temperatures worldwide.
