Tiny pteropods, snail-like creatures that play an important role in the food web, will lose their ability to form shells as oceans absorb more of the CO2 from the atmosphere, a process already observed over short periods in areas close to the Antarctic coast.

Nature World: Disney's Pocahontas got it right when singing to John Smith that "every species is connected in a circle that never ends."What she didn't explain is what happens when a single plant, animal or organism is removed from this balanced system?
