Carbon dioxide is being absorbed by the oceans, which are thus becoming more acidic. This acid bleaches and kills coral and other tiny marine organisms. These are essential for larger animals further up the food chain! Shellfish are unable to make their shells as strong as before.

CO2 readily dissolves in Our Oceans and in the process makes them more acidic. Numerous negative results necessarily ensue.

CO2 will form a weak acid when dissolved in water. This, in extremely large amounts, could cause a change in the pH of sea water over a period of time.
