If this acidity causes lower numbers in plankton, then we may see a spiral down effect, because less plankton means less carbon is being taken out of the atmosphere, therefore increasing the acidity in the oceans and all of ocean life as well as life on the planet is doomed.

Think about it: All of that carbon was above the surface to begin with and when those ancient plants/animals died, the ecosystems lost all of that carbon. Furthermore, the earth has been in a 3 million year cooling cycle, and we could be helping to stabilize the temperature by adding our global warming. Just a thought.
