Climate Change Has Major Impact On Oceans

The emissions of CO2 (carbon dioxide), are built up in the atmosphere and are causing global warming. When I read this article I was surprised to find that the ocean is acidic. It turns out that the ocean is naturally acidic, but the hastening of Global Warming is adding to the acidity. With the acidity growing, it is directly effecting the temperature. Wildlife is threatened. If the animals in the ocean are effected negatively, will animals on the surface be effected the same way? I think it will be difficult to halt this destructive pattern of pollution. Hopefully, someone will find a way.
