Hi Brumar89; The fact that they're pushing "ocean acidification" is due to the fact that a substantial percentage of them realize that "global warming" is dead, dead, dead. But it's going to be a hard sell after all the BS about the climate science being "settled", LOL. There's a very small limit on the number of times you can get billions of dollars by crying wolf. -- Carl

Not turn the ocean to acid, but acidify the ocean. It's a relative term. In medicine, a blood pH of > 7.35 is acid. A pH of 7.0 is life-threatening. Message 28918462 First Evidence of Ocean Acidification Affecting Live Marine Creatures in the Southern Ocean Nov. 26, 2012 — The shells of marine snails -- known as pteropods -- living in the seas around Antarctica are being dissolved by ocean acidification according to a new study published this week in the journal Nature Geoscience. These tiny animals are a valuable food source for fish and birds and play an important role in the oceanic carbon cycle. sciencedaily.com sciencebuzz.org
