Many studies have demonstrated the risks that ocean acidification pose to marine organisms, such as coral dissolving in more acidic water.6 However, new findings suggest that the August and September time period could be particularly challenging for the earliest life stage of elkhorn coral — an important reef - forming coral of the Caribbean — if we continue on a path of high carbon dioxide emissions.5 Ordinarily each August or September elkhorn corals flood the water with eggs and sperm (gametes) for sexual reproduction.2

What L&D neglect to mention is that Caldeira has actually come out against geoengineering using SO2 at this time for reasons entirely unrelated to global temperatures — it only treats one of the symptoms (rising global temperatures), does nothing for ocean acidification and other carbon dioxide (CO2) related problems, and is therefore too risky.

In Part A, you will carry out a class experiment to test the effects of increased amounts of CO2 on pH. Then, you will analyze time - series graphs to search for relationships between trends in atmospheric CO2, dissolved CO2 in seawater, and changes in ocean pH.
