Researchers suggest that despite the trend observed, the depletion of oxygen from the atmosphere due to burning of fossil fuels is currently not a serious environmental concern

because the change in oxygen levels is small compared to the abundance of atmospheric oxygen, which is sufficient for survival of animals and humans. True or false. Severe declines in ocean plants (phytoplankton) due to ocean warming and acidification from dissolved CO2 (forming HCO3 - and CO3 2-) could potentially lead to larger decreases in O2 levels over time, thereby altering this conclusion. What will be an ideal response?
