RE: Challenge For Our Generation: Blue Planet's Oceans Have Been Rapidly Warming Up - Reports New Study By IUCN
It is very worrying for sure. I think people don't take ocean warming and acidification seriously enough. Add it to the list of issues like overfishing and pollution where people neglect the oceans because we don't see the impact on a daily basis at least not yet.
Yes, pollution and overfishing are serious factors too. There is an ernormous plastic junk gyre in middle of Pacific ocean.

Our culture has conditioned people to think short term. They don't even consider consequences for their own children.
Yes I heard about that. I also read about plastic beads from cosmetics poisoning fish and causing them to starve to death as they tend to eat them and can't digest them.
Yeah, they have just banned them in UK for this reason.
