The ocean is getting more and more acidic.
Can we solve it by emptying a giant bottle of antacid into the ocean?
Acidification is threatening the ocean’s ability to pull carbon dioxide out of our atmosphere, so scientists and startups are looking to ocean-sized antacids to raise its pH.
While they might not be the ultimate solution to our climate crisis problem, the antacids could have a hand in helping our oceans rebound.
