Just as increased carbon in the atmosphere triggers effects that change the climate, increased carbon in the atmosphere - when absorbed by the oceans - triggers acidification in the water.

如同大气中的碳气体增加引发气候变化的因素一样——当它们被海水吸收后同样引起海水的酸化。

About a quarter of the carbon dioxide pumped into the atmosphere by factories, power stations and cars now ends up being absorbed by the oceans.

工厂、发电站和汽车排放到大气中的二氧化碳，现在最终有四分之一被海洋吸收了。

Solar energy can, of course, be gathered on Earth, but only about half of the sun's radiation ever makes it to the Earth's surface--the rest is either absorbed by the atmosphere or reflected back by clouds.

Just as, we can directly measure today, that the carbon dioxide that we are adding to the atmosphere being absorbed by the ocean, even the temperature of that ocean is rising.

The sub-millimeter radiation that the telescope will collect is usually absorbed by water, but the lack of moisture in the atmosphere will enable scientists to enjoy a clear view of the sky.
