News review: done by Kai Yi
Summary:
Scientists have found that marine snails in seas around Antarctica are being
affected due to ocean acidification. Ocean acidification is a result of
additional carbon dioxide being absorbed by the waters because of the burning
of fossil fuels. It has led to snails' shells being corroded. Marine snails are
an important link in the oceanic food chain. Hence if this situation prolongs
they will make a great impact to other parts of the food web of the ocean life.
Opinion:
In my opinion, I feel that the root cause of the marine snails’ shells being
corroded is mainly due to human’s activities. The burning of fossil fuels and
deforestation leads to the ocean waters absorbing carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere resulting in ocean acidification. If this situation prolongs, there
would be an increase in the harmful effects of global warming and the marine
life would also be greatly affected. I think that since Science technology is
so advanced nowadays, man should use it to invent methods that would help the
to reduce the negative impacts of global warming and save Mother Earth.
