All that carbon in the atmosphere is doing more than changing the climate. It's also changing the basic chemistry of the global ocean, to scientists' surprise. Alanna will inspire with stories of how she travelled the globe to meet the scientists who are figuring it out and how she put the pieces of this scientific puzzle together. She will leave you with hope and a sense of how people around the world can work together to bring us back from the brink.
