"Those shells were as tough to crack as 60 years ago. " Please provide data. "The ocean is enormous and our CO2 production is tiny." We're producing more than the ocean can take up.

Sigh. Take it up with the oceanographers. They think it is a growing problem. They are also the ones with the instruments to measure it. en.wikipedia.org You do know that repeating something that isn't true won't make it true. Even if you put it in all caps.

In some areas other nutrients such as iron are in short supply, same as on land, but more CO2 means more biological production. What makes you think CO2 is the gate to biological production in the oceans? I would say never, but I don't actually know if that is true. I don't know of any case where it is true, however. Now things like iron and nitrogen are often limits. Adding that to the system can increase the amount of production. Too much though, and that extra production means more organics actually making it to the bottom in significant quantities. The added biomaterial is then consumed by the bacteria I have been talking about, depleting oxygen levels and killing off the animal life. Just google "ocean dead zones" for some information you seem to be lacking. These experiments have been run all over the world, albeit accidentally. We know what happens. It isn't good.
