jwoodward48 ★★★★☆ (1537)	Okay, I know I said that I left, but this is just too stupid to ignore. "Bleach: whiten by exposure to sunlight or by a chemical process" "deprive of vitality or substance" Coral bleaching is the process of turning coral reefs white by increasing the temperature of the seawater. Either you're an idiot or you're incompetent, because "there was no bleach" is not a refutation of any sort. (Or you're a troll.)

In this case my non-acceptance of your fear-mongering hype was too much for you to bear. You felt your faith being put in jeopardy and you lashed out. I get it. Ugh, could you get off your high horse for just a few minutes? It's quite tiring. There is no bleach involved in coral expelling algae And nobody ever claimed that there was. Oh? What's that you say? Why'd we call it coral bleaching then? Good question! (I mean, it's not actually that good of a question... it's like "how come there's no greenhouses involved in the GHE", but I won't complain. Assuming good faith and whatnot.) In its usual or mundane sense, to "bleach" is to whiten clothing. The word comes from the Old English word "blǣc" (that's similar to blaec, if it doesn't show up), which means "pale". It is etymologically similar to the word "bleak", meaning barren, desolate, stark; cold, miserable; or forbidding. The chemical referred to as "bleach" is either sodium hypoclorite or hydrogen peroxide. These were developed in the 18th century, but the bleaching process, using either chemicals or the Sun, has been known and used for millenia. We can generalize the first definition to whitening of any object due to either a chemical process or the Sun. From there, we can further generalize to whitening in general. Coral bleaching is the expulsion or loss of algal pigments from coral. Since this algae produces roughly 90% of the coral's energy, bleached corals eventually die from lack of energy, usually. Needless to say, this is not good. However, I will say it, because you might not know that. Coral bleaching can be caused by increasing oceanic temperatures, which has been measured by the NOAA. See? Temperature measurements. and there is no "ocean acidification." There does indeed exist the phenomenon of decreasing oceanic pH. The pH is still above 7 (that means it's still basic), but it is getting closer to 7 (it is becoming less basic) over time. Which of the following statements do you deny? 1. Humans have burned significant amounts of fossil fuels. 2. The burning of fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide. 3. Carbon dioxide, in the presence of water, results in the production of carbonic acid in the water. 4. Carbonic acid, when placed into seawater, results in the pH of said water decreasing. 5. This phenomenon is known as ocean acidification. "Heads on a science Apart" - Coldplay, The Scientist IBdaMann wrote: No, science doesn't insist that, ergo I don't insist that.

You are attempting to redefine the word "bleaching" which necessarily involves bleach. The simple loss of color has other words, e.g. "fading," "decolorizing," "whitening," etc... You can whiten something with bleach but you can't bleach something without bleach ... unless you are dishonestly trying to hijack a term involving caustic chemicals for the purpose of fear-mongering for the warmizombie cause. .

climate scientist ★★☆☆☆ (257)	"The acidity of any solution is determined by the relative concentration of hydrogen ions (H+). A larger concentration of H+ ions in a solution corresponds to higher acidity, which is measured as a lower pH. When CO2 dissolves in seawater, it creates carbonic acid (H2CO3) and liberates H+, which subsequently reacts with carbonate ions (CO32−) and aragonite (the stable form of calcium carbonate) to form bicarbonate (HCO3−). At present seawater is extremely rich in dissolved carbonate minerals. However, as ocean acidity increases, carbonate ion concentrations fall. The absorption of CO2 largely results from the dissolution of the gas into the upper layers of the ocean, but CO2 is also brought into the oceans through photosynthesis and respiration. Algae and other marine photosynthesizers take in CO2 and store it in their tissues as carbon. Carbon is then passed to zooplankton and other organisms through the food chain, and these organisms can release CO2 to the oceans through respiration. In addition, when marine organisms die and fall to the ocean floor, CO2 is released through the process of decomposition." From: https://www.britannica.com/science/ocean-acidification

That's the definition used. The only people who insist on using the term "acidification" are the incorrigible science deniers. Chemistry (i.e. science) established the definitions, one of which is that any pH value that moves toward "nuetral" is "neutralizing." For a solution to "acidify" it must be an alkaline (base) solution that crosses over neutral into "acidity." The oceans have never done that. . I don't think i can [define it].
