Ocean "acidification" once and for all?

Recently, a lot of threads on this website have been discussing/arguing/shredding whether or not ocean "acidification" even exists, let alone whether or not it is a component of M2C2 (man-made climate change). Here's a recent article published in September, 2015, which I hope will put these questions to rest: Global alteration of ocean ecosystem functioning due to increasing human CO2 emissions On the good side: 1. It's from the journal PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America). 2. It was coauthored by two guys who actually hold degrees in science (vs. food service hospitality or waste management). 3. I couldn't find any typos in it. On the bad side: 1. PNAS is probably run by a bunch of Marxist. 2. For the purpose of discussing M2C2, science might be overrated. 3. I'm not that good at finding typos, anyways. You decide. Thoughts?

trafn wrote:On the bad side: On the bad side, the authors hide behind the passive voice: Rising anthropogenic CO2 emissions are anticipated to drive change to ocean ecosystems 1. My presumption, as a reader, is that this really must not be anticipated by anyone I consider important. 2. The first words tell me that, yes, these are probably a bunch of Marxists who are writing for an already believing audience. We all know the standard mantra of all religions: "You must believe!" 3. For guys who are supposed to be scientific, the authors certainly aren't doing anything to raise the scientific awareness of anyone. How much more vague can a thesis statement be? How are CO2 emissions driving change, and what changes are being driven? Am I supposed to suspend my disbelief and think in terms of "climate" miracles that violate the laws of physics? Is this a case whereby I am supposed to accept that by "changes" the authors could mean absolutely anything and thus I should just simply FEAR the worst ...as opposed to demanding that the authors specify exactly what changes they mean? 4. The one thing that could support the fear-mongering intended by this article is conspicuously omitted. Where's the complete set of raw, unfudged, unmodified, unaltered, unadjusted, uncooked, unsalted, untweaked data of global ocean pH values? If the data are available, why werethey not published for public scrutiny to put the issue to rest? If the answer is that there is no such data supporting the authors' claims, why are they pushing this fear-mongering (...and hence we go back to assuming they are a bunch of Marxists). I don't think i can [define it]. I just kind of get a feel for the phrase. - keepit A Spaghetti strainer with the faucet running, retains water- tmiddles Clouds don't trap heat.

@ comrade IBdaMann - Yes! Continue onward glorious comrade with this climate hoax propaganda. Soon all foolish U.S. citizens well fall under your relentless hypnotic spell, and then we can take over with our plans to dominate the smog filled world under our demonic socialist vision of peace and happiness for everyone! By the way, after we do dominate this smog filled world with our demonic socialist vision of peace and happiness for everyone, I'm still gonna get that 8 bedroom house with the olympic size swimming pool, two tennis courts, and his and hers Bently's you promised me, aren't I?

Great, could you make that beach-front ocean property somewhere where the pH of the saline is 8.1? Can't talk anymore as I'm at Bed, Bath and Beyond stocking up new goodies for that 8-bedroom cottage, right now!

@IBdaMann - I have no problem with either of those as: 1. I plan to fill my garage with a coral of dune buggies. 2. Not when I pee in it (he has no idea of how large my bladder is).  |

@IBdaMann - what website is your post supposed to be on? I can't find anyone named "litesong" on the Climate-debate.com user's list |

@IBdaMann - can't say I'd love too. Gotta admit, I just took a little look around, but what I saw actually hurt my brain. Geez, I get having a disagreement, but when you gotta magnify every freaking detail to the point that string theory looks like the land of giants, maybe you need to get out more often. No, I'll stay here where I don't have to pull out a Texas Instruments science algorithm calculator to interpret what everyone's saying. |
