Ocean acidification off the Northern California Coast
Ocean acidification is a terrible and under-appreciated aspect of climate change, a result of carbon dioxide emissions changing ocean chemistry. The Acid Test documentary linked above discusses how this problem has affected coastal life in our areas, as seashells start to dissolve in the acidifying ocean. It aired yesterday and will re-air later in the month.
