    Another potential reason for such dramatic consequences of wildfires and floods could be a poor funding of public sector due to ongoing crisis. So, climate change topic could be very convenient excuse in this case.
    PS I’m not denying or promoting the climate change topic

        To add to this, ocean acidification reduces the efficiency of shell formation. Since shells are calcium carbonate and therefore a base, it’s basically trying to neutralize the acid at the expense of organisms that need the chemical for structural purposes. The temperature and acidity are a one-two punch to shellfish that they may never recover from.
