Ocean Acidification due to Global Warming

http://ecocentric.blogs.time.com/201...ars/?hpt=hp_c2

How do the tangible effects of global warming affect you & your desire to travel and fly and run mileage runs?

For my own part, I devote a lot of time and energy to researching climate change & its causes & effects, but I am unwilling to let my concern for the world I live in prevent me from seeing it. Granted, I'll try to do the most environmentally friendly method, i.e. trains in Europe, I'll rent a smaller-displacement car, drive eco-friendly, etc. (We DO have a Nissan Leaf electric car at home in Texas, though In addition, we garden heavily and have planted many, many trees on our property here. Drought-resistant trees, as well, so don't claim I'm sucking up precious water. A vegetable garden so we don't have to waste energy (gasoline OR electricity) going to the grocery store. It's not much joule savings, but it's something.

But I'm never going to NOT travel. The world's just too interesting not to.

What about you? What are your thoughts?
