Global Warming on Free Republic
Clearly we need to stop streams from dumping acidic water inthe oceans and to stop raining over coeans....
The ocean is a buffer of carbonic acid and carbonates in the form of ocean sediments from dead sea creatures and the limestone that the sediment eventually turns into.
Buffered systems resist changes in pH. In fact it is very difficult to change the pH of a buffer.
The ocean pH will be slightly basic for the foreseeable future no matter what human beings do.
The only effect people can have on ocean water is on a small, local level.
For all you non evolutionists out there notice that the Ph of sea water is just about the Ph of blood. When we craweled out of the oceans, we took the sea water with us. IMHO
