Cyrus, would you ask koanie if his PHD son in law endorses the obama, kerry aoc 10 year deadline to extinction and what is confidence level of that and how many degrees C are we all going to die under.

How many mega violent weather event are going to kill us all...

I consider koanie just one more anonymous lying sacks of fecal matter assholes. koanie has me on ignore and will not answer any of my "proofs he is dumber than a bag of hammers" questions.

he is one of those who believes if you can tell PHD's what they want to hear for several years and they admit to there club you are to be believed as you speak gospel..

Oy. Did your head get jet lag on on its trip from Uranus?

Surface ocean acidity has increased by 30% since pre-industrial times


Changes in ocean acidity as measured by pH. Blue indicates less acidity; yellow/orange indicates greater acidity. Source: US National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Climate System Model 3.1 (CC SM3)-modeled decadal pH at the sea surface centered around the years 1875, 1995, 2050 and 2095.

Recent estimates by scientists ( Le Quere et al., 2012) have calculated that approximately 26% of all CO2 emitted from human-related activity was absorbed by the oceans during the decade 2002 - 2012. That's 2.5 billion gigatons of excess carbon that moved from the atmosphere into the ocean each year during that one decade. Some of this excess CO2 ends up in deep ocean currents that eventually upwell along coastal areas bringing all that excess CO2with them and to oyster farms.

Scientists have also observed that the oceans have become more acidic since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. They project that this trend will continue in this century as indicated in the visualization pictured on the right. Scientists are concerned that ocean acidification—a gradual acidification of seawater—could have negative consequences for marine organisms, marine food webs, and entire ecosystems.

This figure shows the relationship between changes in ocean carbon dioxide levels (measured in the left column as a partial pressure—a common way of measuring the amount of a gas) and acidity (measured as pH in the right column). The data come from two observation stations in the North Atlantic Ocean (Canary Islands and Bermuda) and one in the Pacific (Hawaii). The up-and-down pattern shows the influence of seasonal variations.
