Our Mother Seas. CO2 has been spewed into our atmosphere. Our oceans have benevolently attempted absorption. By doing so, the great water masses are warming, But more, the acid levels are ever-rising, Atmospheric CO2 has been buffered--so far, However, increasing ocean acid is committing the slow death Of many of its shelled inhabitants, With mass movements of its piscine denizens, Causing starvation of dependent higher trophic levels.
