Tim Flannery's chapter titled, "Boiling the Abyss" in The Weather Makers explains what happens when humans start injecting large amounts of CO2 in the deep seas. The liquid CO2 increases the acidity of the water and makes the water warmer. The animals in the abyss have a very stable environment and are not able to protect themselves against their changing climate, many animals asphyxiate when they come in contact with CO2 "lakes" while animals with calcium carbonate shells disintegrate in the acidic seas. |
