One could get more accurate weather predictions from another 'Phil' from Puxatawny.
Excellent observation.
Ocean Acidification is another eco-crisis manufactured by left-wing control freaks.
The very term is misleading. The ocean is not acidic, it is basic. Between 1751 and 1994 surface ocean pH is estimated to have decreased from approximately 8.179 to 8.104 (Source: Wikipedia). So it is not acidic, it is simply becoming less basic. The percent change is -0.91% not 30%. (Your bimbo at the hearings was lying - big surprise)
The threat, they say, is that organisms that secrete carbonate shells will dissolve and die off. Save the corals!
However, recent studies have shown that as pH rises, calcifying organisms simply increase their rate of calcification to compensate. So, nature adapts as it always has.

Oh my God he has no chin!!!!!!!
Must be that damn Global Warming ...
Or cooling.
I just read something about that in the last couple of days, but couldn't find the link so I left it out of my posts.
Thanks

Lord Monckton (who was scientific adviser to PM Margaret Thatcher - herself a scientist) is trying so hard to get the world's attention to this global warming hoax. He has repeatedly tried to engage Al Gore in a debate - the latter has declined.
Saw him on Glenn Beck's show, where he warned about the consequences of this Treaty of Copenhagen, due to be enacted in five days time.
Sure wish Rush and Hannity would interview him.
I should have said “...as pH decreases...”
Bttt
