The ocean is our planet's greatest #CarbonSink, absorbing about 25% of global #CO2 #emissions each year. But this has come at a cost. Stark words below 👇 from our Prof Widdicombe who will be speaking on the major threat of #OceanAcidification at the Economist Impact's #WorldOceanSummit next week.

A map of the world in the Spilhaus projection with the global ocean as the main focus. It includes arrows of the global currents overlaid onto sea surface temperature & velocity. Spilhaus is a projection that emphasizes the interconnectedness of the world's oceans. The map features a centered and enlarged southern ocean that is surrounded by land masses, creating a continuous east-west expanse of ocean around the world.
