Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change, and now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry and potentially harming sea life.

Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific Ocean for almost two decades.

"We've been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean, and we try and characterize long-term change in the open ocean environment. And one of the key things that we measure is CO2 levels. And we've been able to record this increasing quantity of atmospheric CO2 into the ocean."

Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, more and more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean, affecting the chemical balance of the sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular.

"As carbon dioxide dissolves（溶解） in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid, carbonic acid," Dore explains. "And therefore, as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes up and that exchanges with the surface seawater, it drives the pH down, and makes it more acidic."

The seawater Dore and his colleagues have analyzed confirms what the theory predicts.

The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down, and again at 500 meters. Dore and his colleagues came up with two possible explanations. It could be that surface water picked up CO2 and then moved to those depths. Or there could be a biological explanation.

"It's important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic. And it can have negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral. It's potentially catastrophic."

  A high school history teacher once told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A  21  friend is someone who stays with you for life”. 22 teaches that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily  23.

  It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place  24 enough for true friendship to develop. However, there can be  25 disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want.

  To most of us, friendships are considered very important,  26  we need to have it clear in our minds the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or  27  at arm’s length? Do we want to    28 ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are  29  enough. And that’s all right. But at some  30  we need to make sure that our expectations are the same as our friends’ expectations. The sharing of personal experience including our tears as well as our dark  31  is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it must  32 slowly and carried on only if there are  33  of interest and action in return.

  What are some of the  34  of our friendship? The greatest is to  35  too much too soon. Deep relationships  36  time. Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “possesses” the other, including his time and attention.  37 , friendships require actions in return. In other words, you must  38  as much as you take. Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend 39  time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die  40  .
