... In the past 200 years, the oceans have absorbed approximately 50% of the CO2 produced by fossil fuel burning and cement production. This has led to a reduction of the pH of surface sea water of 0.1 units, equivalent to a 30% increase in the concentration of hydrogen ions. If global emissions of CO2 ...
