What does "30% of atmospheric CO2 is absorbed the oceans" mean?
Does that mean all the CO2 that had ever been put into the atmosphere by man since the start of the industrial period has since been absorbed by the oceans?
If not that, then what? Only a differential RATE makes sense. X = amount of CO2 in atm at time, t, Y = amount of CO2 in ocean at time t. dY/dt = k*X for some k>0. Then it makes sense to ask what is the rate constant, k=?
Part of the problem, too, is an increasing population of human beings who exhale CO2 and cut down forests. Plants intake carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce glucose, oxygen, and water. We can help by using clean energy sources and planting more trees and gardens.

What are the effects of acidification on phytoplankton?
This video seems to draw a broad conclusion from a single data point.
The reduction of CO- is counter intuitive since it was shown that CO2 is being dissolved due to the purportedly higher partial pressure.
The non-linear increase in logarithmic H+ is also very general and deserves attribution.
