There is still no sign of a peak in fossil CO\u2082 emissions, even though we would need to reduce by 1.6 gigatons annually to reach net zero by 2050.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"my-0\"><strong>Ocean acidification is accelerating dramatically:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-0\">The global surface ocean pH dropped from 8.11 in 1985 to 8.04 in 2024\u2014an 18% increase in acidity.
