Three main responses to climate change:
Adaptation- the process of adjustment to actual or expected climate and its effects
Mitigation- a human intervention to reduce the sources or enhance the sinks of greenhouse gases
Geo-engineering- a broad set of methods and technologies that aim to deliberately alter the climate system in order to alleviate the impacts of climate change

With the extra heat the ocean absorbs mixed with the acidity, there are implications for ecosystems and habitats including deep sea coral reefs.
Also the extra heat goes to the oceans surface where it can supply more energy to hurricanes, showing a link to extreme weather.
Ocean acidification
About one-third of our carbon dioxide emissions are absorbed by the oceans, where they react with seawater to form a weak acid. This results in ocean acidification, a lowering of the ocean’s pH.
