Of course it is “rare” evidence, because it’s fabricated.

Of course it is “rare” evidence, because it’s fabricated.

...and even if it weren’t...some life forms come and go...

[smoothsailing]

Al Gore at it again?

[JT Hatter]

It’s a good thing the increase in CO2 isn’t from human activity. Think of it. They they would blame increased ocean CO2 on burning fossil fuel or something. Whew! That was close!

[bigheadfred]

Remember just before cars came along and they were worried the big cities would be buried in horsesh!+?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Of course we have no idea if this is totally normal and has occurred untold numbers of times before, but let’s presume that it isn’t because that fits our enviro-misanthropic agenda.

[American in Israel]

Adapt or Die!

Sheesh, one would think the enviro-mentalists did not believe in the Darwinian Theroy they love to spout.

[Smokin' Joe]

Wait. I thought CO2 in seawater provided part of the CO3 that, when bonded with the Calcium cation makes up Calcium Carbonate--the material found in many little sea critter shells.

The other 'biggies' are chitin and silica (silicon dioxide).

Maybe the oceans are suffering from a Calcium deficiency...

[muawiyah]

There are two kinds of sea butterflies. One has a shell. The other does not have a shell.

So which one are they talking about

[driftdiver]

I wonder if he knows what their shells are made of?

[paint_your_wagon]

Bogus. The rising sea level due to the melting of the polar ice caps should be plenty to absorb any excess CO2. /S

[bigheadfred]

Wait a minute. It is the “Butterfly Effect”, isn’t it?

If a sea butterfly loses its shell on the Antarctic seafloor a hurricane will happen in Jersey and Satan’s son is reelected POTUS and we all die horrible deaths....really horrible deaths...REALLY HORRIBLE DEATHS...

[SampleMan]

Wow, what a coincidence that a study is done on an Antarctic creature to determine if global warming is affecting it and guess what... GLOBAL WARMING IS KILLING IT!!!

Real shocker. I just wonder what the next grant gravy train is going to be.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I don’t buy it a bit. The amount of acidification that a few one hundred-thousandths of a percent of CO2 would cause is so small as to be immeasurable.

[hinckley buzzard]

yep. "Ocean acidification" is a mendacious term being used to demogogue the warming hysteria on another front. The fact is that the ocean has been alkaline since the beginning of geologic time, and there is no conceivable scenario in which it can ever become acidic. WUWT has debunked this scam convincingly, long since.

[entropy12]

The ice age ended 15,000 years ago due to the cave man burning too many twigs to stay alive in the fierce cold weather.

[TChad]

Where CO2 Comes From:

We're losing.

[muir_redwoods]

Oh no! Jeez! What would life be like without the sea butterfly? I can’t bear it.
