The correct response that identifies the relationship between CO2 in the atmosphere, ocean acidity, and temperature in the atmosphere is:
**Higher atmospheric CO2 concentration has led to warmer atmospheric temperature and higher ocean acidity.**
This statement accurately reflects the scientific understanding that increased atmospheric CO2 contributes to the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming (higher atmospheric temperatures) and that more CO2 being absorbed by the ocean results in increased ocean acidity (due to the formation of carbonic acid).
**Higher atmospheric CO2 concentration has led to warmer atmospheric temperature and higher ocean acidity.**
This statement accurately reflects the scientific understanding that increased atmospheric CO2 contributes to the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming (higher atmospheric temperatures) and that more CO2 being absorbed by the ocean results in increased ocean acidity (due to the formation of carbonic acid).
