The canary in the coal mine was an early gas detector. It died, the miners knew they had a few minutes to get up and out. Trouble is when the cart to get them out was broken and nobody had checked it.
The acidification of the oceans is just another symptom of global warming/climate change/greenhouse gas. This is different from the acidification that was happening in the 70's from sulfur in gasoline. This heavier-than-air CO2 concentrations increasing at ground and sea level. The CO2 is being absorbed by the ocean but it is doing that by turning into acid.
Most people are just looking at rising water levels but the acidification may be a more immediate, and worse, change coming rapidly ahead. Think its bad to lose your pet snorkeling area, try losing your whole island.
