“Well, first of all, there are a lot of different entry points for the topic. It’s not just one thing causing it. The big thing that we’re concerned about is the burning of fossil fuels making the oceans more acidic. Getting off of fossil fuels, you’ll save 25% of species in the ocean. Because 25% of the ocean’s species live on coral reefs. The coral reefs will be gone by 2,050 at the current rate of warming and acidification. That’s really soon. Geologically speaking, that’s tomorrow.”
