CO2 saturated water09-08-2019 00:22 | |

I think one can safely assume carbonated water is saturated with CO2. When you unscrew it, gas escapes. Tastes fine to me- no damage to my sensitive internal organs. Why don't environmental scientists do some simple experiments? Take a tank of sea water and put some fish, claims, and sea shells in it. Bubble CO2 through it and watch what happens. And some air of course. |

Granted the title is badass, sounds like serious action but the premiss is: acidification would result in depressing metabolic rates and immune responses in some organisms The problem with these claims (and they may be right but it's still a problem) is that the "effects" anticipated are so mild on a small scale that their not materializing can't be cited as contrary evidence. All that said it does seem very doable to simulate these things in an aquarium. But nothing popped up when I looked. |

The premise is pure fear-mongering, that the oceans are transforming into caustic chemicals. The purpose, of course, is to generate panic. tmiddles wrote:The problem with these claims (and they may be right but it's still a problem) is that the "effects" anticipated are so mild on a small scale that their not materializing can't be cited as contrary evidence. Nope. The problem with these claims is that they are pure gibber-babble that defy chemistry. The oceans have never acidified, hence there has never been ocean acidification. If a pH value moves towards "7.0" then it is "neutralizing" ... not "acidifying." The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere will not affect the pH of the ocean. Precipitation that might very well become acidic because of atmospheric CO2, loses that acidity when it eventually evaporates and releases the gas back into the atmosphere. Ergo, it is a cycle, not an accumulation. "Coral bleaching" is hype to promote fear. No bleach or any other chemicals are involved. The term should be coral "whitening." In English, we only refer to whitening as "bleaching" when the whitening is caused by bleach (or some chemical). You get your teeth whitened, not bleached. You do, however, bleach your clothes to get them white ... which necessarily involves bleach. Corals whiten simply because they expel algae (zooxanthellae). Eventually the algae return as does the corals' color. All the coral reefs that are supposedly being devastated by "ocean acidification" are all actually doing fine. There is nothing honest about "ocean acidification" preachers. . I don't think i can [define it].
