Yeah, but we forget how this work, CO2 acidifies the water, Calcium carbonate disolves, raising pH ... calcium reactor... Reefs have existed during periods where temperatures were much heigher, atmospheric CO2 much heigher...

Lets keep things in perspective...
The figures in the article are per capita and we dont have as large of a population as the USA. Plus it looks like the article I posted is more current than the site you posted.
