I'm not the original commenter, but here's a citation: https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/coralreef-climate.html https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/coralreef-climate.html > As temperatures rise, mass coral bleaching events and infectious disease outbreaks are becoming more frequent. Additionally, carbon dioxide absorbed into the ocean from the atmosphere has already begun to reduce calcification rates in reef-building and reef-associated organisms by altering seawater chemistry through decreases in pH. This process is called ocean acidification.
