But along with climate change, these same emissions are causing another pernicious problem in our oceans. Some of the carbon dioxide we emit gets absorbed in sea water, where it turns into carbonic acid in a phenomenon called ocean acidification.
Tell me where they have documented "ocean acidification", not just a drift towards neutrality. Don't forget the huge buffering of carbonates. Remember those White Cliffs of Dover? Now expand over all those things under the sea.
By the way a new paper on CO2 and Methane in the Arctic.

"The authors report that the net effect of draining in their study is an increase in the
amount of CO2 emitted to the atmosphere, which will ultimately magnify climate change," Zona wrote in her commentary.
Zona published a study about the effects of drainage in permafrost earlier this year in the journal Nature Geoscience. Additionally, she and fellow SDSU ecologist Walt Oechel, along with colleagues at several other institutions, published another study last year showing that t
he emission of methane, another greenhouse gas, is highest in the Arctic
during the region's cold season. That was surprising, as most scientists thought little if any greenhouse gases escaped the frozen soil during the cold season.
Sure enough, Kwon's recent study shows a similar trend for carbon dioxide.'
