"Rapid increases in human-induced carbon emissions are causing the oceans to suffer in profound ways, and the problem is getting worse.
In a new review published in the journal Current Biology, Andrew Brierley of St. Andrews University in Scotland and Michael Kingsford of Australia's Cook University write that if warming continues at these levels, not seen in 56 million years, the planet will experience a 4.6-foot rise in sea levels by 2100 and a near-total disappearance of the ice-covered polar seas by 2020.
The loss of most coral reefs by 2040 is also looking increasingly plausible. Skyrocketing emissions are making the world's seas dangerously acidic, and ocean acidification is irreversible for tens of thousands of years."

President Obama has said "Now is the time to confront this challenge once and for all. Delay is no longer an option. Denial is no longer an acceptable response."
