for low - emitting nations at levels that would allow them to achieve per capita
emissions limitations.

We propose here a new paradigm of anthropogenic impacts on seawater pH. This new paradigm provides a canonical approach towards integrating the multiple components of anthropogenic forcing that lead to changes in coastal pH. We believe that this paradigm, whilst accommodating that of OA by anthropogenic CO2, avoids the
limitations the current OA paradigm faces to account
for the dynamics of coastal ecosystems, where some ecosystems are not showing any acidification or basification trend whilst others show a much steeper acidification than expected
for reasons entirely different from anthropogenic CO2
emissions.
