My Story
To One in Paradise
Global warming goes into ocean…
93.4% of global warming goes into the ocean. You already see effects in tornados, earthquakes, acidic rain and smog.
“My story begins long time ago, but I do not see its roots anymore…”
Creates ocean acidification…
Stanford scientists estimated that up to 60 percent of coral reefs around the world have been wiped out since the Industrial Revolution. Caribbean lost 80% of their coral reefs.
“I travel where nobody can go…”
No coral reef – no plankton…
Acidification can affect many marine organisms, but especially those that build their shells and skeletons from calcium carbonate, such as corals, oysters, clams, mussels, snails, and phytoplankton and zooplankton, the tiny plants and animals that form the base of the marine food web.
No plankton – no air…
Our climate is absorbing a lot of heat. When scientists add up all of the heat warming the oceans, land, and atmosphere and melting the ice, they find our climate is accumulating 4 Hiroshima atomic bombs worth of heat every second.
How it is all connected?
Seawater has a pH of 8.2 on average because it contains naturally occurring alkaline ions that come primarily from weathering of continental rocks. When seawater absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, carbonic acid is produced, reducing the water’s pH. Since the dawn of industrialization, average surface ocean pH has decreased to about 8.1.
Things do not look too good…
Because the pH scale is logarithmic (a change of 1 pH unit represents a tenfold change in acidity), this change represents a 26 percent increase in acidity over roughly 250 years, a rate that is 100 times faster than anything the ocean and its inhabitants have experienced in tens of millions of years.
More every single person that develops cancer has the pH that is too acidic – Dr. Otto Warburg – won the Nobel Prize in 1931 for proving that cancer can’t survive in an alkaline environment, but thrive in an acidic, low oxygen environment! 50% of population already develops cancer in the USA.
That proves that current state of our planet is quite unhealthy and we have to build conscience and increase consciousness of each individual human being…
