Put simply, ocean acidification is the imbalance of chemical content in ocean water; whereby there is increased acidity, and upward temperature changes. The ocean has experienced a 26% pH drop in the last century. Ocean acidification has negative effects on sea-life and the ecosystem.

In its analysis of the new data, InfluenceMap, a London-based nonprofit think tank, found that two-thirds of investor- and state-owned fossil fuel companies outside of North America expanded oil and gas operations between 2016 and 2022. Only in North America were a slim minority of carbon majors — 16 of 37 — linked to rising emissions.

It also pledged to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of its finished products by half by 2030 compared to 2016 levels, and confirmed it intends to achieve 'carbon neutrality' across its sites by 2025 through building energy efficiency upgrades and replacing fossil fuel energy systems with renewables.

It can reverse ocean acidification by absorbing carbon dioxide. We’d have to grow quite a bit of seaweed to rely on it for sequestration: One study suggests we could remove the equivalent of 42 percent of all current global CO2 emissions by covering 4 percent of the world’s oceans in seaweed farms — but that’s a lot of ocean.
