Greenhouse gas turning oceans acid, scientists warn

Gigantic changes to the world’s oceans, leading to the complete disappearance of marine life from cod to coral reefs, are now threatened by the main greenhouse gas causing global warming, British scientists warned yesterday.

Researchers sounded the alarm about a completely new and potentially devastating danger to the world from the huge volumes of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by industry and transport, which is already known to be threatening the future of the planet by changing the climate.
