We've heard this science but never seen it so stunningly visualised before. What a call to action! And it's nice that you end on hope.

Capitalism is the culprit behind global warming and pollution of the  sea. We cannot solve this problem without ridding ourselves of this menace.

Back in the 70's the USA had acid rain causing fish die offs in the lakes. It was from coal power plants. The smokestacks were made taller it only moved the problem further away from the source. It was sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides that were the cause. (see wiki article) My comment is how do they know for sure that it is primarily CO2 and not other pollutants from industrial smoke? Sulfur dioxide
nitrogen dioxide? Main culprit in that case, coal fired power plants without scrubbers?

Hi, they know it's the CO2 because they've measured and determined that it's the carbonic acid in the ocean which is making it acidic. If it was was sulfur dioxide, they would be finding more sulfuric acid in the ocean. Also, sulfuric acid pollution shows up in lakes long before it affects the oceans, and we know that lakes have largely recovered from sulfur dioxide effects.

Well that is what most empirical evidence shows. Very little evidence shows a strong positive feedback, and virtually none exists to show that 350ppm is somehow a good place for co2 to be at.
