Correct me if I'm wrong, but it would seem like Ocean Acidification would be less prone to "Climate Commitment" than regular climate change. Meaning, if we just stopped emitting greenhouse gases, OA would stop increasing. The rest of Climate change would still keep continuing for a few decades.
- thinkcontext 11y agoI don't think this is known. If all CO2 emissions stop and atmospheric levels are 450ppm but the ocean and atmosphere are at equilibrium at 350ppm then OA will continue to increase. Further, once equilibrium is achieved it is unknown how long it would take for OA to reverse.
