It seems we are doomed if the leftists don’t get to ration and control everything.
It’s a solid plan. People are easily scared, and once frightened, easily controlled.
These truly worthless “experts “ just can’t give up their grant money. Worthless parasites.
This crap again? I remember this was going to kill us in twenty years, forty years ago.
> The entire vertical scale of the chart goes from pH of 8.03 to 8.11 — less than 0.1 of a pH unit. <
All Climate Change data is like that. The “change” is within experimental error, and so is meaningless.
In the old days, scientists were free to make that point. But such skepticism is not permitted when it comes to Climate Change. It’s “settled science” dontcha know?
Great! we can now use sea water for industrial acid applications (if it continues at that rate for 800,000,000,000 more years.
This is like how they say you have a “carbon footprint” instead of a “carbon dioxide footprint.” In your mind, you think soot, not a colorless, odorless gas required to sustain life.
But you know what else is carbon? Diamonds. They’re nearly pure carbon. So I like to correct people to call it my “diamond footprint.” It’s just as accurate as “carbon footprint.” I mean, do you ask for a cup of hydrogen when you’re thirsty? No, they do this on purpose to scare the idiots.
Just like this so called “ocean acidification.” It scares the idiots who don’t know the pH scale. If anything, this should be called “ocean neutralization.” But even that’s a stretch too and not scary enough for all the idiots to give them money and power.
Need to reduce government grants more. Too much money out there and so called scientists are chasing the cash.

If anything, it’s just less alkalinization, not acidification, as the pH is still greater than 7.
The phrase ‘ocean acidification’ was coined as recently as 2003 for the precise purpose of juicing up causes for climate alarm. A variety of dire consequences are conjured up, none of them robust enough to withstand scrutiny. Plenty of authentic science available to discount the whole fabricated ‘issue’.
People are afraid because it is easy to fear than educate oneself.
“Ocean “Acidification” — Another Fake Scare That Won’t Go Away”. Do they think the ocean is taking LSD?
One wonders how much marine acidification is due to atmospheric sulfur (acid rain) instead of dissolved CO2. In general, the equilibrium concentration of CO2 in water DECREASES with increasing temperature (think “beer” going flat as it warms up).
Hmm. Seems the salt content of seawater would make it an ideal buffer solution that would be at a constant pH since either alkaline or acidic compounds would be neutralized by free salt ions of various compositions. So Srednik reasons.
Almost every single environmental disaster has been proven to be false or overblown for 60 years now.
Global warming
Early Ice Age
Acid rain
Climate change
The list is limitless and mostly bullshit. They are all commmies trying to take your money and tell you how to live.
