Ocean acidification is when carbon dioxide is produced by the burning fossil fuels and is then put into the ocean. Many major problems can develop in the marine ecosystem because of this. The animals most at risk are tarapods. Their shells are progressively becoming thinner and thinner as time goes on. Their shells will eventually completely disintegrate from the immense amount of pollution and carbon dioxide us humans use everyday. If the the shells from these small animals keep getting smaller, they will die and so will the animals that eat them. Their will be a chain reaction throughout from the bottom up to the top of the food chain. By not burning fossil fuels we can prevent this from happening. We can use solar energy and not use the earth's materials. In the end we are killing ourselves.
