Just looked up the pKa of triflic acid and I had forgotten how insane it is (-14.7!!!) and would not have estimated that low based on sulfuric acid having a pKa of -2.8. Like, acetic to trilfluoroacetic only drops by 4.2 pKa unit. Holy hell is that a strong acid!

Marine ecosystems: Human activities have pushed Earth beyond its Safe Operating Space.

"World’s oceans fail key health check as acidity crosses critical threshold for marine life. The world’s oceans have failed a key planetary health check for the first time, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels, a report has shown. Scientists call for renewed global effort to curb fossil fuels as seven of nine planetary boundaries now transgressed."

North Pacific waters are acidifying more rapidly below the surface, research reveals

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enters the ocean at the surface and has been increasing the acidity of Pacific waters since the beginning of the industrial revolution over 200 years ago. A new study, led by University of Hawai'i at Mānoa oceanographers, revealed that the ocean is acidifying even more rapidly below the surface in the open waters of the North Pacific near Hawai'i.

Facing rising #temperatures, a spike in #acidity driven by an influx of #carbon, mass habitat destruction, and inescapable pollution, the world's #oceans haven't had it easy. But in an ominously literal sense, the situation may be even darker than we realized. New research indicates that more than a fifth of the global ocean has darkened over the past two decades, with the depths that #sunlight can penetrate significantly retreating. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gcb.70227 #climatecrisis #oceans #globalheating
