Oceanographers have that seawater sound absorption will drop by up to 70 percent already during this century. The scientists have examined the effects of man-made carbon dioxide under business-as-usual emissions and provide projections of the magnitude, time scale and regional extent of changes in underwater acoustics resulting from ocean acidification.
