No more Climate Change.
The new buzz words are Ocean Acidification caused by increased CO2. Some bimbo at today's hearings stated that the oceans have had a "30% increase in acidity since the start of the industrial revolution." She went on to say that this was the greatest increase in ocean acidification in the last "20,000,000 years."
We’ll need to send more money to Al Gore so he can buy Global Alka Seltzer.
I guessing that volcanos lead to ocean “acidification.” I’m for a law prohibiting volcanic eruptions.
OMG! Quick! Tell ‘Arm & Hammer’ to crank up their baking soda production!
Ocean Acidification is another eco-crisis manufactured by left-wing control freaks.
The very term is misleading. The ocean is not acidic, it is basic. Between 1751 and 1994 surface ocean pH is estimated to have decreased from approximately 8.179 to 8.104 (Source: Wikipedia). So it is not acidic, it is simply becoming less basic. The percent change is -0.91% not 30%. (Your bimbo at the hearings was lying - big surprise)
The threat, they say, is that organisms that secrete carbonate shells will dissolve and die off. Save the corals!
However, recent studies have shown that as pH rises, calcifying organisms simply increase their rate of calcification to compensate. So, nature adapts as it always has.
