ACID TEST, a film produced by NRDC, was made to raise awareness about the largely unknown problem of ocean acidification, which poses a fundamental challenge to life in the seas and the health of the entire planet. Like global warming, ocean acidification stems from the increase of carbon dioxide in the earth’s atmosphere since the start of the Industrial Revolution.
Leading scientific experts on the problem, many of whom appear in the film and the outtakes below, believe that it's possible to cut back on global warming pollution, improve the overall health and durability of our oceans, and prevent serious harm to our world, but only if action is taken quickly and decisively.

If ever there was ONE reason to sell your car, this is it. Ocean acidification is no joke.
AND Here's something else:

industrial waste (most notably iron) also causes algae blooms which consume oxygen en masse and create oxygen depleted zones in the ocean. This creates what is commonly called a "deadzone" in the ocean.
The fact is... we need to throw the polluters in jail, revoke their corporate charters and start fresh.

The documentary, "Oceans" is either released or about to be released in the US.
Everyone should see this beautiful film. Perhaps it would make some of our leaders more aware of just how fragile this planet is. - 2 years ago
