«If there are plumes emerging from Europa, it is significant because it means we may be able to explore that ocean for organic chemistry or even signs of life without having to drill through unknown miles of ice,» says study lead William Sparks, an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute.

«If more of these reefs are there, that would run counter to what ocean acidification and carbonate chemistry dictates,» Baco - Taylor said.

They find that all existing coral reefs will be engulfed in inhospitable ocean chemistry conditions by the end of the century if civilization continues along its current emissions trajectory.

If Europa does have an ocean, the academy report recommends a series of satellite missions and lab simulations of the chemistry at the boundary between Europa's ocean and its rocky core.

And if you're looking for life, then the chemistry of the ocean is a big deal.»

You can have a differential impact on biology and chemistry, so if you really want to assess what will be the status of calcifying organisms in 2100 there is one part, the chemistry, for which the organisms have no control but for the biology they can perhaps adapt and there might be a way for the organisms to mitigate the negative impacts of ocean acidification.

They say even if CO2 emissions stopped now, it would take tens of thousands of years for Arctic Ocean chemistry to revert to pre-industrial levels.

They say even if CO2 emissions stopped now, it would take tens of thousands of years for Arctic Ocean chemistry to...

then (if there is anything) you'd have to demonstrate that whatever it is is caused by CO2 and not any other bit of the complex ocean chemistry or environmental changes (eg warmer).

But the change in carbon chemistry of the ocean and ultimately the atmosphere need to be transparently documented, also, if we are to trade carbon offsets based on iron fertilization.

And the changes in ocean chemistry are the sort of thing that can be expected to have a direct effect on the geological record if carbon levels rise far enough.

If you knew anything about geology or chemistry you would know that an increase in the concentration of CO2 in the world's oceans makes the oceans acidic, which will eventually make the oceans uninhabitable by certain organisms whose niche is within the natural pH of the oceans.

If you wanted to do that any scale that would be meaningful to global coral health or to ocean chemistry, the unanticipated consequences of large actions like that, that are, you know, it's such a complicated system — become very hard to model.

Thus if the two mid latitude jets move equatorward at the same time as the ITCZ moves closer to the equator the combined effect on global albedo and the amount of solar energy able to penetrate the oceans will be substantial and would dwarf the other proposed effects on albedo from changes in cosmic ray intensity generating changes in cloud totals as per Svensmark and from suggested changes caused in upper cloud quantities by changes in atmospheric chemistry involving ozone which various other climate sceptics propose.
