Tip of the hat to your favorite fool...

Let me congratulate WUWT for being wrong again, old reliable WUWT screws up again, their prediction (according to Ned) of SIE (sea ice extent) 4.8 million square kilometers will likely be exceeded today. CT got it at 4.85 yesterday. May I say I am truly impressed with their failing skills. Highly unusual even for humans.

Now back to CT's Graph, truly amazing red zone of ice covering almost the entire pack. That is 60% coverage, this is the year when compaction is missing, the appearance deceives, reality continues.

Ocean acidification killing oysters by inhibiting shell formation, study finds
Jun 12, 2013
(Phys.org) —For the past several years, the Pacific Northwest oyster industry has struggled with significant losses due to ocean acidification as oyster larvae encountered mortality rates sufficient to make production non-economically feasible.

Now a new study led by researchers at Oregon State University has documented why oysters appear so sensitive to increasing acidity. It isn't necessarily a case of acidic water dissolving their shells, researchers say. Rather it is a case of water high in carbon dioxide altering shell formation rates, energy usage and, ultimately, the growth and survival of the young oysters.
