The Sunday Age
Worried about climate change? Furious about the carbon tax? Confused about the science? Walkley-award winning journalist Michael Bachelard will lead The Sunday Age team investigating the 10 most popular questions on OurSay which will be featured and updated on The Age's Climate Agenda website.
This OurSay is now closed. Scroll down below to see responses to our questions as The Sunday Age answers them each week.
The Question
Why is there not more reporting of the risk of collapse of wild fish stocks due to acidification of the oceans as a result of their absorbtion of excessive CO2 in the atmosphere. How are people in the future to gain healthy fish to eat, which we know is a greatly beneficial part of the human diet? How are people to have opportunities to enjoy dramatic and exciting experiences of marine life which can wonderfully nurture the human spirit if vital sections of the marine food chain go missing bringing the whole chain down? I don't understand why so many people seem so relaxed about the dramatic problems that too much CO2 in our atmosphere will create, according to the wisest heads.
Yes Gavin, one would think people with backyard swimming pools would be able to connect the slimy green algae there to what our oceans could become.
