Acidity levels affect corals and other creatures' abilities to form their skeletons, a process known as calcification.
Trinder's career stalled last term because of complications with a dead leg when bleeding under the muscle led to calcification.
We would need atmospheric CO2 levels of around 500 parts per million (ppm) to kill off the process of calcification completely, reports Mother Jones.
As of Friday past, that calcification became obvious to us all.
When CO2 levels increase, as does acidity levels, calcification breaks down.
The mutation carriers had less artery calcification, indicating that they had healthier hearts as well as higher HDL (good cholesterol), and lower triglycerides and LDL (bad cholesterol).

Studies of Australia's Great Barrier Reef show that levels of calcification are down, though it is not yet possible to say changes in chemistry are a reason for this.
"The older ones at the time of death had a lot more calcification than the younger ones, " said Randall Thompson, a cardiologist at Saint Luke's Mid-America Heart Institute, Kansas City, Mo.
The predicted acidification of the oceans in the next century is expected to decrease coral calcification rates by 50 percent and promote the dissolving of coral skeletons, the researchers noted in their report.
The researchers, led by Richard Kerensky of the University of Florida, found that, for example, with 16:1 compression, the error rate for the detection of calcification was 30% higher than for uncompressed images.
There will be a de-calcification of your politics.
