Higher acidity (CO2 become carbonic acid when dissolved) hits the  
foodchain and will drop biological productivity <http://

notice/2005/09/29/1127804608148.html?from=moreStories>. It may also  
slow the absorption of carbon by the oceans <http://en.wikipedia.org/ 
wiki/Ocean_acidification>. More importantly is slows the transport of  
carbon to sediments via shells which move the excess carbon out of  
the biosphere. What we have done already may take 100,000 years to  
correct <http://currents.ucsc.edu/04-05/06-13/ocean.asp>.
