If the food webs are affected, it might be a very serious issue, since the change of marine food webs will change the whole food webs of the Earth. People cutting down trees must affect the marine species because trees are the ones who decrease the amount of CO2. Does the increase of H2CO2 has a bad effect on the plants in the oceans, too?

It's amazing how connected people are to the food chains in the ocean; we not only caused this problem (too much CO2), but we will be drastically affected by the negatave reaction of species. It's amazing how liitle the general public knows about this... How could the message be spread (to raise awareness)?

Otherwise, we'd be affected by the climate change at a time when we would not be prepared technology-wise to fight it. Keep researching! All I can say is, thank goodness for the ocean.

I really understand both the affects of the unbalance pH level and the reasons for its distortion. Nicely explained and presented.
