With all of the ongoing debate about increased levels of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere, it's amazing that nobody started talking about the effects of carbonic acid upon both animal and plant development and on catastrophic releases of more CO2. However, apparently the oceans contain the highest levels of carbonic acid apparently seen since the Oligiocene, and the only way to offset those increases is by dropping CO2 emissions by one-half of today's levels. And since it's not like anyone's giving up their SUVs, expect the ocean's food web to crash before anything gets done.
