is the rise of ocean acidity undoubtedly caused by humans or is there another cause behind it?
Yeah, higher carbon content in the air if I recall correctly. Whilst anthropological climate change is real, it's unlikely nature won't adapt. Rising ocean acidity is likely the corrective mechanism.

There is an ebb and flow of ocean acidity which has a lot to do with algae. Btw, fun fact, algae in the ocean produce 70-80% of the planet's oxygen. An oceanic algae extinction event would kill most mammals, including us.
the ocean isn't acidic and will never be acidic

This. Becoming less basic =/= becoming acidic.
This is why climate scientists are seen as fraudulent sacks of shit.

To be honest the only way to get any money in climate science is to study "impacts" so if your study isn't aimed at providing supporting evidence for climate change, you don't get grant money.

It's caused by the increase in Co2 concentrations. Google for the carbonate system, it's not difficult to grasp unless you are as autistic as I think you are.
Then the increase of Co2 is obviously manmade. Nothing on earth is burning shit as much as we do.
What was a biblical act of God in the bible was really just him accounting to the prophets our various fuckups before Christ comes back to clean things up.

If this is a serious problem why don't major nations focus on this irrefutable fact instead of rising global temperature? People have many theories on why the temperature overall has risen but I have never heard any counter arguments or theories on why and how the ocean acidity has risen. If it rises too much a major food resource is lost, and from the national geographic website "Over the past 300 million years, ocean pH has been slightly basic, averaging about 8.2. Today, it is around 8.1, a drop of 0.1 pH units, representing a 25-percent increase in acidity over the past two centuries."

basically, why are people like "we shouldn't make deals to lower human emissions cause there's no DEFINITIVE proof that humans cause rising global temperature" but if it's undeniable that human co2 emissions are causing rising ocean acidity isn't that a more convincing argument to adopt low co2 emission policies?
