Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Sunday, January 03, 2010

Now the doomsayers are telling you that the oceans are turning acid from all that nasty carbon dioxide being absorbed into the seas. How frightening! Or perhaps not? According to oceanographers there's as much chance of the planet's seas turning acid as there is of Al Gore admitting he lied. ...

Gore has never lied...just don't eat too much sea salt ~ right?

".just don't eat too much sea salt"

With all that carbon dioxide, Algore will start selling indulgences for Pop Rocks

Not just that, but only about 10% of CO2 turns to acid, the rest is simply dissolved!

That's my favorite line in this little festival of ignorance.

"festival of ignorance"

Nicely put.

Maybe the acid is melting the artic ice.

"artic(sic) ice"

Whatever that is.

Arctic ice, on the other hand, is as low in area as has ever been measured this date.

Article is a hit piece on "doomsayers" connected with Al Gore.

Glosses right over the fact that you'd have to not be a creature that likes to form carbonate shells to think CO2 was awesome. Not to mention all the creatures which may very well benefit from higher CO2 concentration, but will probably die anyway once they're habitat which depended on lower levels expires.

Glosses right over the fact that the starfish which they cite as a great winner feeds on a shell forming loser.

obviously Canadian Zoologists don't know squat compare to our esteemed scitisits (six) Zit & knightfart:>)

"Zoologists at the University of British Columbia (UBC) researched the impact of ocean acidification on marine invertebrates that don't have a large calcified skeleton or external shell. What they have found debunks the global warmist doomsayers' guesstimates about the potential impact of climate change on marine species. In the lab, UBC researchers, led by Rebecca Gooding, manipulated water temperatures and CO2 levels in seawater tanks containing juvenile Purple Ochre Sea Stars, a species found along much of North America's Pacific Coast. An increase in temperature of just three degrees and doubling of CO2 concentrations enabled the sea stars to grow almost twice as fast as they normally would over a period of ten weeks"
