Like many things climate related there is a significant lag-time, in human terms. As stated in the article the implication is that if humanity survives the climate crisis it could take centuries to undo the damage to the oceans. However it is much more likely acidification will cause a trophic collapse and kill off the sea life before that were to occur- we have already lost around half of the base of our aquatic food chain, phytoplankton, since 1950: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/ocean-p...
There are widespread problems with sea birds dying of vitamin B1 deficiency, for which phytoplankton are a source, indicating this collapse is already in motion: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6196476/
Not exactly. My interpretation is that global warming will have long lasting consequences. Even if we do manage to mitigate it, a lot of damage is already done.
-a testament to open data sciences. I think the same will be true with neuroscience data of today...more informed scientists of the future will download our data off the open repositories and make novel predictions based off their better understanding.
offtopic -- an article got a lot of attention recently about renewed means of sea-level rise via heat expansion.. clicking on a few links got a pretty exemplary set of reproducible data tables and code, and several research publications showing years of inquiry.. as a Westerner, an interesting note is that it all came from a China PRC lab, quite a bit in English, and out-performing many "Nature Climate" sort of things, from an "open" standpoint.. quite the reversal, on a crucial topic.
