With your re acidification — and here is where we stand on that front:

“Prior to the Industrial Revolution, average ocean pH was about 8.2. Today, average ocean pH is about 8.1. This might not seem like much of a difference, but the relationship between pH and acidity is not direct. Each decrease of one pH unit is a ten-fold increase in acidity. This means that the acidity of the ocean today, on average, is about 25% greater than it was during preindustrial times.” (https://www.epa.gov/ocean-acidification/understanding-science-ocean-and-coastal-acidification#:~:text=Solutions%20with%20low%20pH%20are,ocean%20pH%20is%20about%208.1.)
