ACID OCEANS CAUSE SMALLER SHELLS OF PHYTOPLANKTON. “If the shell-making is reduced, the storage of carbon in the ocean might be, as well.” That’s bad news for the climate, because the ocean is responsible for absorbing at least one quarter of the CO2 that humans load into the air through fossil fuel burning and other activities—and it is the action of foraminifera and other tiny shell-building animals, along with plants like algae that lock it away safely for millennia.””
