Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Oceans are becoming more acidic, due in large part to their absorption of some of our excess emissions. As this acidification accelerates, it poses a serious threat to underwater life, particularly creatures with calcium carbonate shells or skeletons, including mollusks, crabs, and corals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Today, the ocean has absorbed about 90 percent of the heat generated by rising emissions. As the excessive heat and energy warms the ocean, the change in temperature leads to unparalleled cascading effects, including ice-melting, sea-level rise, marine heatwaves, and ocean acidification.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hotter temperatures. As greenhouse gas concentrations rise, so does the global surface temperature. More severe storms. Increased drought. A warming, rising ocean. Loss of species. Not enough food. More health risks. Poverty and displacement.
