While some articles may exaggerate the current state of the reefs, the existence of the problem can't be denied.
Same goes for the rise of CO2 in the atmosphere. And there is really no denying where that is coming from. There is quite solid evidence that ocean acidification is a man made problem. The coral may be able to handle heat or handle a more acidic ocean, but they can't handle both together.
The issue is really not if you "believe" in climate change or not - but rather if you want to take a gamble with the living quality of future generations if not life itself.
I'd rather be on the side of caution because if you are wrong the potential damage can be fixed (if there is any).
But if climate change tuns out to be real it will be next to impossible to to fix the problem once the evidence is absolutely undeniable.
