An ocean pH change from 8.2 to 8.0 is NOT significant as the .2 change is very small.

So far, the ocean's pH has dropped from about 8.2 in preindustrial times to around 8.05. This seemingly small change may already be affecting ocean organisms and future CO2 emissions could lower ocean pH even further
