What trend is shown in this graph? (click to enlarge)
Saltwater pH lowers (becomes more acidic) as CO2 pressure increases.
Saltwater pH increases (becomes more basic) as CO2 pressure increases.
Saltwater pH is not affected by changes in CO2 pressure.
Oceans have not been impacted by dissolved CO2 levels since 1968.
