Plastic waste meets the oceans of indonesia

Most people never think that one of the two breaths they drew came from the vast ocean. Everything in the world is related to each other, including activity on land also has a major influence on the health of the oceans where human survival depends on it.

The magnitude of the problems facing the world today makes it seem as if we can not do anything. In case your house is a fire, you certainly will not rest on your chin and discuss with your friends who will take the water while your house is devoured by the red .

But this is exactly what politicians have been doing for years in climate change negotiations while this is what politicians and world leaders are doing and trying to tackle the toughest problem facing humans today. This year in December, the whole world will hold its breath, hoping anxiously to see what will happen in an important meeting in Paris later.

But wait, what exactly is the climate change relationship with the vast ocean?

Few realize that up to one-third of the world's carbon emissions are absorbed by oceans and other bodies of water. This can increase the acidity of the water and affect the process of calcification required by many marine animals to form shells and skeletons for survival. Not impossible in the future, we can no longer eat shellfish because of this. While shells get a double effect, not only disrupt the process of forming an external framework, global warming also has implications on the process of color formation in algae. Whereas oroses staining is very important for algae to survive. Therefore on an extreme warming scale the coral can whiten and then die.

If the facts bother you, there are many things you can do to help reduce the negative effects of global warming on the oceans.
