: Re sunshades, yes, what LG said at 14, plus, the shades do nothing to reduce the ocean acidification... why would we want to expend the energy and resources to treat a symptom of planetary CO2 poisoning and take all the risks that LG describes when it pretty clear that the best approach is a wildly ambitious conversion to very low emission energy / transportation / agriculture systems **** concurrent with, and achieved by the same means, *** a wildly ambitious global program of CO2 sequestration / removal... and... under *** 300 ppm *** in 20 — 100 years, at most?

Re «acidification» here and some comments in other strings, if this is really about the science, then let's say exactly what we mean so as not to give any reason for contrarians to distract folks from the main, coldly scientific conclusion.)

However, the lack of a clear understanding of the mechanisms of calcification and its metabolic or structural function means that it is difficult, at present, to reliably predict the full consequences of CO2 - induced ocean acidification on the physiological and ecological fitness of calcifying organisms.

What it means In summing up the implications of their findings, the Portuguese scientists say that they further support the fact that «there is no evidence of CO2 - related mortalities of juvenile or adult bivalves in natural habitats, even under conditions that far exceed the worst - case scenarios for future ocean acidification (Tunnicliffe et al., 2009).»
