Ocean heating from global warming does not negate acidification caused by increased CO2
Ocean heating and ocean acidification are concurrent, distinct consequences of carbon dioxide emissions and global climate change, meaning warming does not negate or prevent acidification.
The claim states that ocean heating does not negate acidification. Papers [1] and [3] support this by examining ocean warming and CO2-induced acidification as simultaneous and independent or interactive climate stressors driven by emissions, showing both phenomena occur together without one negating the other. No papers refute this premise.

Paper [1] demonstrates that both ocean warming and CO2-induced acidification independently and interactively impact marine species, showing that warming does not prevent acidification from occurring.

Paper [3] explains that the ocean acts as both a thermal container for global warming and a carbon sink causing acidification, confirming both processes happen concurrently.
