this is one of several "failure modes" connected to climate change that are bieng dissmissed out of hand and in spite of all the blither blather about humans determining our own future as seperate from anything as trivial as the "weather", we exist as the prime exploiter of what can be summed up as the carbohydrate production of nature, a single number of X millions of tons per anum, which our breathable atmosphere, is a byproduct of.

The editorialized HN title misrepresents what the article says.

My main concern is the acidification of the ocean due to the carbon dioxide equilibrium between the atmosphere and the sea. There is a threshold level threshold at wich the shell of plankton just dissolves. After that happens I think the whole ocean ecosystem will collapse (maybe no more fishes?) Also the deep ocean has an inertia of thousands years meaning that we are going to stick with industrial coal revolution levels of co2 in the atmosphere for a lot of time even if we emit nothing.

People wasn't seeing immediate effects because it was hidden in saturating the ocean and now there's no way back in my opinion

I've not read and am instead trusting Betteridge's law of headlines.
