Asidifikasyon Oseyan, ansanm ak dlo sifas chofaj ak chanjman nan lanmè melanje, ka diminye kapasite nan oseyan an absòbe diyoksid kabòn (CO2). Sa lakòz plis CO2 nan atmosfè a. Paske CO2 se gaz efè tèmik prensipal la kontribiye nan chanjman klima, ogmante CO2 kontribye nan ogmantasyon nan tanperati mondyal ak chanjman ki asosye nan nivo lanmè, tanpèt, ak modèl presipitasyon. Lè kapasite lanmè a absòbe CO2 redwi, enpak chanjman nan klima gen plis chans pou yo vin pi grav. Rediksyon sa a tou fè li pi difisil ak pi chè estabilize atmosferik CO2 konsantrasyon.

Ocean acidification, along with warming surface waters and changes in ocean mixing, may reduce the ability of the ocean to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2). This results in more CO2 in the atmosphere. Because CO2 is the primary greenhouse gas contributing to climate change, increased CO2 contributes to increases in global temperatures and associated changes in sea level, storm, and precipitation patterns. When the ocean’s ability to absorb CO2 is reduced, the impacts of climate change are likely to be more severe. This reduction also makes it more difficult and more expensive to stabilize atmospheric CO2 concentrations.
