with consequences for all life on earth.
These videos produced by Plymouth Marine Laboratory provide information
about ocean acidification and raises awareness of the implications associated
with increasing levels of carbon dioxide and changes in seawater pH levels.
«The 2 °C target was all
about warming and didn't involve consideration of
ocean acidification in any direct way,» said University of Queensland professor Ove Hoegh - Guldberg, one of the lead authors of the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment chapter dealing

about ocean acidification.

ocean acidification with conservative, stable numerical schemes for nonequilibrium air -
ocean exchange and
ocean equilibrium chemistry.»
Anderson's colleagues now give short talks connecting the aquarium's central exhibit
about coral reefs
with information
about ocean acidification — the result of carbon dioxide building up in the
oceans that is a major threat to marine life.
The work in question takes measurements from one locale, and doesn't publish conclusions, rather Doney's statements are giving his opinion
about what he read, «Long - term
ocean acidification trends are clearly evident over the past several decades in open -
ocean time - series and hydrographic survey data, and the trends are consistent
with the growth rate of atmospheric carbon dioxide (Dore et al., 2009).»
Your political views have nothing whatsoever to do
with the physical facts of increasing CO2 due to our emissions, the warming that will cause (~ 1.1 C / doubling), the feedbacks that will occur (to a total of
about 3C / doubling), crop movements, sea level rise,
ocean acidification, precipitation changes, etc..
I'm against
Ocean Acidification theory because I've done loads and loads of background reading...
about the lack of credible scientific evidence that it represents any kind of problem... in the eyes of all those undecideds who can't make up their mind whether they agree
with me on climate science or whether I'm talking bollocks...»
Of this 545 GtC,
about 240 GtC (44 %) had accumulated in the atmosphere, 155 GtC (28 %) had been taken up in the
oceans with slight consequent
acidification, and 150 GtC (28 %) had accumulated in terrestrial ecosystems.
In Washington and Oregon, oysters farms are in coastal Pacific waters where upwelling currents are bringing up cold, deep water
with higher amounts of CO2 and a more acidic pH. Watch and listen to two oyster farmers from Taylor Shellfish Farms in Washington state talk how
about ocean acidification is impacting their young oysters.
More distressing news
about the decline of life in the
oceans came in
with another report, which shows that
ocean acidification (fueled by ACD) is expected to cause skeletal deformities in half of global juvenile corals, making them increasingly susceptible to dying off.
This question came up on an NRC panel on
ocean acidification that I was involved
with — do the extinctions during the PETM tell us anything
about how much the changing pH in the
ocean would affect, say, fisheries?
With enough evaporation you could warm the upper troposphere significantly enough to solve global warming, and then there'd only be
ocean acidification to worry
about.
