As higher amounts of carbon dioxide become absorbed by the oceans, some marine organisms are finding it's a struggle to adjust.
The Changing Planet series explores the impact that climate change is having on our planet, and is provided by the National Science Foundation (http://science360.gov/series/Changing+Planet/) & NBC Learn (http://www.nbclearn.com/changingplanet)

Oh how I love my sweet life,
But—why’s the sea so warm?

removes the need to... burn carbon fuels to create energy - means less CO^2 and less acidification.

Seriously, though, just a couple of thoughts; if the ocean became more acidic, wouldn't it also corrode the land faster?
Also, why not just dump an ass load of an alkali in the seas? Sure, it wouldn't work as a long-term solution, but it might buy us a bit more time to research and find a decent, effective solution that's more eco-friendly and will last longer?
I think the best way, in all honesty, is to pump lots of funding into nuclear fusion research. Cleaner energy that removed the need to

If the ocean became acid, I'd drink a lot more water.

We have to hope that peak oil hits us before we do any permanent damage to the planet. Because people are, apparently, unwilling to do the right thing on their own.
