The image above shows how coral reefs may change from increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide coupled with increasing temperatures. Sigourney Weaver narrates the film on on this website http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sigourney-weaver/swimming-in-a-sea-of-acid_b_320994.html. It is an independent film called Acid Test and it explains the other threat our oceans are facing with increasing carbon dioxide. This threat is called ocean acidification and it has a lot of scientists freaked out! Many imperative organisms in the ocean are at risk from the increasing acidity. This film is only 20 minutes long and it really does a good job of explaining what scientists already know about this relatively new problem and what we can expect for the future of our oceans. Watch it!
