@NewPipeFTW . You could show me a billion scientists spouting the same dumb idea, I still would not be satisfied. I read the reports, and formulate ideas from there. You're just regurgitating what someone else's ideas are. That's called religion where I am from. Besides, you didn't read the IPCC report, I can tell. They indicated low confidence that any changes in flooding, wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, are apparent from anthropogenic climate change. The actual data does not support your conjecture.
Furthermore, the IPCC report does report that the satellite data shows a trend in green across the land, especially in arid areas. To my knowledge, when plants can be grown better in more areas, humans that like to eat plants have more food. That sounds beneficial.

@user-bm9fo5kr1l scientists are people and these days we need reform for honesty and integrity. STEM is great, I am an engineer myself, but some of these old fashioned virtues are sorely lacking in the quest to always be the smartest researcher, to make the discovery, to win the grant money, or win the respect from your peers. The peer review process is basically devolved science into grade school peer pressure. There is a repeatability crisis, rampant bias, and just human bullshit drama in academia these days. Yes, that's why I am an engineer and not a scientist and yes I am bitter, but the pay is pretty good and the products we make are quite advanced clean technology, so I am happy. But I don't trust anyone in academia, except for my sister who did get her PhD. She was the smart one.

@NewPipeFTW you could just link the article. Besides, I AM a qualified researcher. I get paid to do research and development.
Sea water is not blood. Your blood doesn't have a huge reserve of calcium carbonate rubble swirling around it... This would tend to buffer any change in pH. This is why the ocean remains ALKALINE at 8.1 pH despite being at the bottom of a my mostly nitrogen atmosphere. So this acidosis idea is completely stupid. At worst, ocean becomes slightly LESS alkaline, but never becomes acidic.
Next this ocean acidification has a few serious problems... The carbon dioxide concentration increases in the water, a tiny portion of this becomes carbonic acid and reduces the pH of the ocean. But now, that CO2 is not in the air to actually CAUSE the temperature to increase. Furthermore, warmer temperatures of the Earth's surface means that the oceans will be warmer and able to dissolve less CO2, the ocean tends to become an emitter of CO2. If you look at the CO2 graph, you'll see it's got a cyclical component to it... There is much CO2 dissolved in seawater from geothermal vents, some geologists have hypothesized that some of the recent CO2 increases could be from undersea geothermal vents and ocean out gassing.
What observations were made to support their conclusions? There is no data, just people saying some dumb shit and you claiming it's from a qualified source. This is not science. You need to discuss your hypothesis, a method for testing your hypothesis, data from your experiment, and see if your hypothesis is valid.
