Impacts: Ocean acidification has enormous implications for the functioning of natural systems. However, its human impact cannot be overlooked either. Engage with your peers on the discussion facility to answer these two questions:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n
\n
Will marine organisms be able to adapt to ocean acidification given the time scale for the predicted changes?<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
\n
Increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is likely to lead to sea level rise. Are rising sea levels more of a threat to humanity than ocean acidification?<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
