Most people have been aware of the problem of global warming linked to increased levels of Greenhouse Gases in the atmosphere, but there is another problem created by the increased levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) which is only recently coming into the public realm. This is the problem of ocean acidification. The problem is nicely set out in a short film produced by children at a local secondary school (Ridgeway) in conjunction with scientists from the Plymouth Marine Laboratory. There is a piece about the film in the local newspaper from where it is also possible to view the film (or view it directly with this link).
Well done to everyone concerned.
