A 2024 report by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research warns that ocean acidification, caused by CO2 emissions, is nearing a critical threshold. Acidic waters harm corals, shellfish, and phytoplankton, threatening marine ecosystems and disrupting the marine food web. Oceans, vital for absorbing CO2 and heat, may lose this capacity, worsening climate change. With six planetary boundaries already breached, urgent action is needed to cu…

A new report by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research details how a crucial threshold for ocean acidification could soon become the seventh factor breached – out of of nine – considered critical for the planet's ability to regulate life-sustaining natural systems. The growing acidification of the planet's oceans is due to ever-increasing emissions of carbon dioxide released by burning fossil fuels, which the oceans then absorb.
