I do not normally read the LA Times but I saw this article today.
Altered Oceans

The chemistry of the ocean is changing in ways that we have not seen
in millions of years. For example from a different report the change in PH.
Unabated carbon dioxide emission in the next couple of centuries will cause a pH reduction of 0.7 units (Caldeira and Wickett 2003). This is greater than the maximum reductions of 0.6 units seen in the last 300 million years. (Caldeira and Wickett 2003).
