US EditionOceans dangerously acidic from carbon emissions, report warns
Greenhouse gas emissions have increased ocean acidity by 30-40%, threatening marine species and reducing oceans' capacity to absorb carbon dioxide, scientists report.
- The 2025 Planetary Health Check from the Potsdam Institute indicates that humanity has surpassed the safe limits in seven out of the nine key Earth system thresholds worldwide.
- This breach results mainly from fossil fuel burning, deforestation, land-use change, and the release of thousands of untested substances yearly.
- Key concerns include ocean acidification entering a danger zone, global forest cover dropping below safe levels, rising greenhouse gases, and expanding marine dead zones disrupting food webs.
- The report calls for urgent international action to avoid failure and restore Earth’s stability and resilience, emphasizing that failure is a choice, not inevitable.
