Name one problem and one marine biologist who believes that is a problem. <CO2 is another kettle of fish altogether. CO2 is not harmful.

I suggest you tell that to all of the marine biologists and oceanographers out there who disagree strongly with your opinion! > You probably mean a potential problem, not an actual problem. Or they make some unsubstantiated claim which is not in the slightest causally related to the tiny reduction in alkalinity which is supposedly due to the slight increase in CO2 in the air. If fish are in trouble at 400 parts per million of CO2, how did they survive the times when CO2 was 4000 parts per million?

In fact, CO2 has made near zero difference to oceans. Shellfish are perfectly happy and their shells are plenty hard enough to resist most fish bites.

<I never said it was stable. The environment on the planet is constantly changing and man is not helping the situation. > So you agree that the climate has always been changing, along with the weather, but we are supposed to get worked up about a minuscule effect on temperature supposedly caused by CO2 improvement. Since we definitely don't want a reglaciation [hardly anyone would like that though some equatorial people would do], it's a good thing that we can perhaps give a bit of a boost to heating with the extra CO2. Not that we can claim to have proven the tiny increase in temperature over 100 years was due to human CO2 output.

The faulty implication of Global Alarmism is that Earth was in balance until people started burning carbon in a big way knocking the climate off its stable equilibrium.
