> When carbon dioxide mixes with seawater, it forms a weak carbonic
acid. Over millions of years, erosion has supplied the oceans with vast amounts
of dissolved calcium from weathered rock on the continents. This provides a
natural buffer against the acid, creating chemical conditions to which some key
forms of marine life are finely tuned.

there ain't no global dialysis available ....
