The consensus among the AGW crowd is that calcium in the form of aragonite (CaCO3) is where marine life gets its calcium to form the biogenic calcium carbonate "hard structures" instead of HCO3.

But if calcium is being sequestered and utilized as Aragonite, wouldn't that mean that Corals and Mollusks are flourishing (since most naturally occurring oceanic Aragonite is manifested in those creatures)??

Strikes me as contradictory (no surprise there, right?.. ;0)

But I totally agree that the entire subject is very complex. It's certainly nearly impossible to model properly with the current lack of date that we possess..
