Troubled oceans at the bottom of the world

The climate crisis is a problem of multiple dimensions. Rising ocean temperatures alone have the potential to disrupt the web of life in the ocean. Acidifying oceans, a result of the same carbon dioxide pollution that is warming our planet, are magnifying the problem even further.

From Antarctica to Bangladesh: The story of rising seas
