Greater concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere mean that more of the gas becomes dissolved in seawater, increasing its acidity. The good news is that higher ocean temperatures cause degassification which means that the oceans will release carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, lowering seawater acidity.

This is why the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere is rising, after the earth warms up. Hi C02 levels is an effect not a cause.

Sheesh. How they gonna get another grunt now? You must be anti-science.
