We have known this is coming for decades, we have known it will be devastating to the sustainability of human civilization as it exists.

You are promising devastation to human civilization, but all we have is a hot summer. Even got an end to the drought in California!

I think their point applied to your reply is "ok so ocean acidification is happening. so what?". the flood of scientific papers and muddled messaging is what has led to the common populace now really understanding the implications. For better or worse, most people will not click into a nature.com or epa.gov article vs a quick TikTok
