Barbara and I attended panel presentations at the European
Environmental Agency (EEA) here in Copenhagen. Speaker after speaker
spoke about the changes we are seeing in our oceans as a result of the
22 million tons of CO2 that they are absorbing per day. Yes, 22
million tons per day.

Tonight we are looking forward to a talk at the EEA by Dr. Jane Lubchenco, current administrative head of NOAA. She has been a leader in environmental science and marine ecology.
We are most fortunate because she knows ocean acidification. Her
research work is broadly respected and she is a former recipient of the
MacArthur Fellowship
