I just threatened some oysters with eradication the other night. Since they were in the half shell, I don't think their chances of survival would have been any better if I hadn't eaten them. All fun aside, this ocean acidification stuff is way worse than the canary in the coal mine. It's already too late to avoid, and it's only going to get worse . . . and now for the good news. Oh, wait, there is no good news about declining ocean productivity.
