Due to human actions, the oceans are threatened as never before. Governments are not taking this seriously. Plastic companies are lobbying to "preserve jobs" in plastic factories no matter what damage that does.

There is a small error in the article. CO2 dissolving in water does not damage "the water". It damages various animals that live in the water. In particular, too much acidity kills corals and some other organisms with hard shells. Excess CO2 can confuse the thinking of some fish, making them vulnerable to predators.

This could wipe out thousands of species.
