You are actually one of those individuals that fell for that ridiculous ad put out by big oil? Do you really and seriously believe that they would have an incentive to be honest with you? Really now!

CO2 Pollution Could Erase Coral Reefs

The world’s oceans have absorbed 40 percent of the carbon dioxide emissions produced by humans in the industrial age, but that buffering is changing the chemistry of the oceans. Already, the acidity of ocean waters, which are generally basic, has shifted about 0.1 on the pH scale, or 10 percent, since pre-industrial times, and could get far more acidic by mid-century.

In a editorial in the journal Science, the researchers also noted that unlike CO2’s climate impacts, which vary between models to some extent, ocean acidification is based on basic chemistry and is nearly sure to occur if we continue burning fossil fuels, with disastrous consequences for some marine life.

You continuing to parrot corporatist propaganda about how "global warming is a hoax" and Obama is a socialist, clearly shows that you don't know what you're talking about.

You must have missed the AGW meeting. It's now called "climate change" since the Earth has cooled over the past decade.

Do a little homework friend. The warming trend we have been experiencing started in the 1860s. Unless the Civil War caused global warming,I have to conclude it is a natural phenomenon. There is reason to believe the CO2 concentration has been far higher in our Earth's history without a runaway "chicken little" warming effect. That means it can't happen. Save the scary bedtime stories for the kids.

I wish that people who love dirty filthy air were the only ones breathing it. The rest of us get the good stuff.

Smartypants, I dont watch TV ads for my science. I READ SCIENTIFIC PAPERS.

go on with your badself. believe all the junk science you want. Just dont accuse me of junk when you dont have a freaking clue about me.

by the way, ocean acidification is NOT global warming. good grief.

and one more thing..


Toxic Seawater Fraud « Buy the Truth


kinda debunks the myth that CO2 disolution in Ocean water will have a negative impact on marine calicified organisms.
