Acid oceans 'need urgent action' ( The oceans are absorbing CO2 and must stop....?)

The fish are working to moderate the impact:

Fish poop helps balance ocean's acid levels

[metmom]

Shouldn’t they all just be evolving? What’s to worry?

[garyhope]

If the BBC said it, it must be true. ROFLMAO.

Absolutely no sarcasm here at all. No sir. I kid you not.

[Mr. Peabody]

This is ridiculous. 0.1 pH units since revolutionary times? Anyone who works with this measurement must have trouble keeping a straight face.

[mom-7]

The sky is falling, the sky is falling.

[wombtotomb]

quick! somebody post the ohhhh nooozzz guys!

[Semper Mark]

What ever happened to acid rain?

[bboop]

The sky is falling! The sky is falling! I mean, the ocean is wet! The ocean is wet!! We’re all gonna DIE!!

[swmobuffalo]

Maybe they need to get the third world countries and the oriental countries to stop dumping their crap into the ocean without suitable treatment.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

Liberals are insane.

[mamelukesabre]

All rain is acid. It’s supposed to be that way.

[mamelukesabre]

Or tell them to start dumping soap, lye, and caustic. That’ll counter act the acid.

How bout we air lift millions of tons of rolaids to the ocean?

HA! That was my first thought, “The sky is falling!”, but upon further reflection my response is - I thought they had Prince Albert in a can?

[Semper Mark]

Correct! But remember how they tried to scare us with that one too?

We just ignored until their faces turned purple and they went away.

Atmospheric CO2. 380 ppm. .038%. Doesn’t sound high to me. But then, I’m not using it to extort the population.

[ken21]

i still have a copy of the 1970 ramparts magazine

that on the cover warns of all our oceans dying in a decade or so.

[dforest]

Actually, I do not care anymore, well since Nov 4th,

[mamelukesabre]

Carbonate system. Isn’t that how it works? I don’t remember the details. All I remember is that term. I took a college course in water pollution years ago. Learned about...oh wow...stuff. It’s all gone from my memory now.

BOD5
dissolved oxygen content
carbonate buffer

That’s about all that’s left.

Everything we do is part of nature. We are part of nature. By definition what we do is natural. They’re all idiots. They try and separate us from everything else at the same time telling us we’ve evolved from apes - who are still, appparently, part of nature.
