Fish species are already dieing off because of the increases acidity of bodies of water. T
Really? Where? Scripps found that acidity in the oceans is natural and nothing to be concerned about. I also notice you have studiously ignored the link I provided. I wonder why
You senile old liar, that is not at all what Scripps states.

New Science for an Emerging Threat:
Ocean Acidification Research at Scripps Oceanography
It is well established among researchers that the uptake of increased amounts of carbon dioxide will make ocean water more acidic as the gas dissolves to create carbonic acid. Ocean chemistry is changing 100 times more rapidly than in the 650,000 years that preceded the modern industrial era and since the late 1980s, researchers at Scripps Oceanography and others have recorded an overall drop in the pH of the oceans from 8.16 to 8.05.
This increased acidity can hamper the ability of a wide variety of marine organisms ranging from coral to abalone to form calcium carbonate shells and skeletonal structures. Researchers believe that at crucial stages in the larval and juvenile stages in the lives of many marine invertebrates, ocean acidification inhibits calcification, and also appears to affect reproduction and growth in some organisms.
To help everyone understand the level of the certainty of the research, I've bolded the words that could but don't say is proven or has proved.
If ifs and buts were candy and nuts...
