Longer. 24 years before Arrhenius developed the GHG Theory. Show me their data on variations on oceanic PH levels Eric.. Do you know why you won't be able to do that? Because the PH scale wasn't even invented until 1909, that's why.. : In a publication of 1909 (see reference below), the Danish scientist Soren P.L. Sörenson discussed the inadequacy of measuring acidity by the total amount (normality) of acid additions to a particular solution. The added amount of acid would not necessarily be a true measure of its dissociation, depending on chemical interactions with other chemical species. Sörenson proposed that the actual degree of acidity should be rationally measured by hydrogen ion concentration and proposed the pH scale for expressing the hydrogen ion concentration as detailed in the quote below: "I will explain here that I use the name "hydrogen ion exponent" and the designation PH for the numerical value of the exponents of this power." corrosion-club.com Look.. the article about the X-prize had scientists acknowledging that they've only recently been focusing on Acidification and that they lack sufficient scientific tools to adequately measure it.. So there CANNOT be "settled science" when the research is JUST beginning, and tools being developed to assist in that research. We need to understand the natural variations of oceanic PH levels long before we can understand how mankind is impacting them, and whether human influences are as significant as EXISTING natural influences. I expect better of you Eric than to post some article about the Challenger, which is widely acknowledged as the beginning of oceanography, and claim that PH level data were being collected at that time.
