How does global warming contribute to the acidification of oceans and its impact on marine life?
Global warming contributes to ocean acidification by increasing atmospheric CO2 levels, which leads to higher CO2 absorption by seawater, resulting in decreased pH levels and increased acidity, negatively impacting marine life, especially shell-forming organisms like corals, mollusks, and plankton, disrupting marine ecosystems and biodiversity.
