The great thing about low pH oceans is that it would snowball so quickly once it gets past a certain threshold, that we would have barely any time to react. It would kill us all in a matter of months at most.
Yeah, more CO2 in the atmosphere and higher temps would be absolutely terrible but somewhat “livable”, but acidic oceans ? If most plankton and algae die, we’re done and there would be nothing we could do about it.
The next century or so will be the story of how we triggered a vicious cycle of multiple tipping points, but most importantly “nobody could have predicted this” … except the millions of scientists who were ignored because of systemic species-wide greed and ignorance.
The entire history of humanity will be summed up by “Talking chimps destroy own planet, and themselves”.

Hope for the future!

More like “All chimps listens to the most charismatic chimps even though they are narcissistic idiots and that leads to their destruction”
It will be interesting to learn the exact conditions for each of the tipping points, if only it wasn’t our environment. Tipping
Once jellyfish become the only remaining sea creature, just eat those
This song captures your comment perfectly IMHO: Upbeat on the outside, dark as hell on the inside.,
Spend your summers playing at the bleach
Oh yeah, it’s low pH not high 😁
Nice pun though !
Don’t threaten me with a good time
