&gt; &quot;Ocean acidification however, is caused by the fact that the oceans absorb the excess of CO2 present in the atmosphere; and livestock are responsible for more CO2 production than all of transportation.&quot;<p>There&#x27;s a common misconception that all CO2 is bad. CO2 is a natural part of the bio cycles found on Earth, what&#x27;s bad about using fossil fuels is the rapid expansion of CO2 (and other gases) in the environment where life lives, which causes instability and damage as the Earth adapts.
