Global warming?

The ocean isn't acidic and it will never become acidic.

And that's just science kids.

I'd work harder on refuting your statement, but like all science deniers your offhand, demi-science quips take hours to to assemble a tight response to in order to present a factual response. It's not worth the effort as you've exercised a technique that amounts to the written equivalent of a Gish Gallop for years now. Every time someone puts any work in to try and prevent your nonsense being absorbed by people who have no exposure to science and little understanding of scientific method you escalate the level of garbage response to new heights. None of it supported, or indeed supportable by anyone with a reputable association to whatever branch of science you're throwing under the bus today.

The only response that may help those who don't get scientific method is a short quip from comedian Dara O'Brien who also has a degree in Cosmology, “Science knows it doesn't know everything; otherwise, it'd stop. But just because science doesn't know everything doesn't mean you can fill in the gaps with whatever fairy tale most appeals to you."

Wot he said!

You can't teach the unteachable!

To a very small degree, yes, but it doesn't become less acidic thereby - Carbonic acid doesn't evaporate back into the air, and at that point it's releasing it's CO2 into an already increasing CO2 environment....catch 22. Oceanic acidification is fact.
Climate heats the ocean using the sun to do so - that being the main heating source for the planet, so, pedantically speaking, you are right.

Here's a graph of Temperature, CO2 levels, Sea levels, over the last 450,000 yrs. Notice how they all tend to follow each other.
Now....look at the end of the CO2 graph as it races past 400 ppm!
Implications on temps and sea level rise? (without the bullshit that CO2 doesn't force temperatures - unless you've changed the laws of physics and observability - it does, no argument, end of story! And it has been established that CO2 increases happen before temperature rises in nearly all cases, not after.)
