4/4 Marine calcifying organisms, such as molluscs and corals, are especially vulnerable because they rely on calcium carbonate to build shells and skeletons.

3/4 The presence of free hydrogen ions (H+) lowers the pH of the ocean, increasing acidity (this does not mean that seawater is acidic yet; it is still alkaline, with a pH higher than 8).

2/4 with atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels exceeding 422 ppm (as of 2024).CO2 from the atmosphere is absorbed by the oceans. This chemical reaction produces carbonic acid (H2CO3) which dissociates into a bicarbonate ion (HCO3) and a hydrogen ion (H+).

1/4 WIKI says: "Ocean acidification is the ongoing decrease in the pH of the Earth's ocean. Between 1950 and 2020, the average pH of the ocean surface fell from approximately 8.15 to 8.05. Carbon dioxide emissions from human activities are the primary cause of ocean acidification,

It's The Grauniad so...

But apparently now they've amended the article.
