My second point was that the ocean doesn't literally have to become acidic in order to be catastrophic. Even a subtle change in the pH has already proven to be highly destructive to coral reef skeletons. https://www.whoi.edu/press-room/news-release/scientists-identify-how-ocean-acidification-weakens-coral-skeletons/ https://www.whoi.edu/press-room/news-release/scientists-iden... Going back to the original topic, it is certainly within the realm of possibility that if temperature and pH changes can affect coral reefs, then they can alter the behaviors of warm-blooded mammals such as killer whales.

  Quote the whole thing: >it is certainly within the realm of possibility that if temperature and pH changes can affect coral reefs, then they can alter the behaviors of warm-blooded mammals such as killer whales. it is certainly within the realm of possibility It's speculation based on reason.
