當我們繼續將二氧化碳排入大氣時，溶解到海洋裡的二氧化碳濃度就愈來愈高，導致海水化學急遽的改變。崔里歐納．瑪格拉思研究有關的化學改變過程，稱之為「海洋酸化」，她的演講引領我們深入海洋學家的世界，讓我們更了解「氣候變遷的邪惡雙胞胎」，及其如何影響海洋和那些賴以為生的生命。

環境污染如何改變海洋化學

Oceans have absorbed 25 percent of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere, leading to a 26 percent rise in acidity since pre-industrial times. This chemical shift is happening ten times faster than anything seen in 55 million years. As a result, crucial species like corals and shellfish struggle to build their shells, endangering entire food webs. Without rapid action to cut carbon emissions, ocean life and the resources humans depend on face severe risks this century.
