Award winning journalist, works for globe and mail. Put together data about worlds oceans in light of climate change- in doing this research found bigger picture. Stephen put her hood on- doctorate at trin. We are going to be ones to make difference-younger. Wasn"t about whts wrong with ocean but just fascinated with ocean- then book turned into sickness. All excited one day cause red tide- triggered by toxic shit- silvia went out and got samples in water bottles. Major problems: ocean acidifcation, warm water- temperature high, water level rising- coral drowning. Symbiate- two organisms in a mutually benfefical relationship. Water levels- as they rise the photosyntheziers cant phtosyntheiss- below the level too far under water- caused by heat from fossil fuels. Whe we burn fossil fuels 250 yrs- not really htat long- we"vebeen digging up fossil from millions of yrs ago- we dig them up burn them- we put carbon from them into todays atmosphere-
