No poetry in ocean acidification

Scientific reports seem to be better at communicating the threat of ocean acidification than environmental NGOs. No wonder UN negotiations on emissions reductions take no notice of the subject.

Heaviness of being. And poetry
Sluggish in the doldrums of what happens.
Me waiting until I was nearly fifty
To credit marvels. Like the tree-clock of tin cans
The tinkers made. So long for air to brighten,
Time to be dazzled and the heart to lighten.

Seamus Heaney, from Seeing Things
