Hard to see how over fishing kills lions isn’t it? And it’s hard to see how driving to the store or work stunts starfish or melts crab shells. How wasting energy kills coral reefs, the nursery of the tropical oceans.
Acid! You’re fucking it up with your acid. See numb nuts, acid is an eventual product of CO2, which you make by flaming your hydrocarbons.
CO2 in the air is so dense now, it is being forced by the atmosphere into the sea water, truthfully water always absorbs some CO2, but now it's more. CO2 reacts with water and a bunch of scientific left wing liberal chemical shit happens that Texans object to and the water releases hydrogen ions. That ion crap, that stuff acidifies the water, meaning it lowers PH, becomes vinegar like, sort of. Now some more voodoo science and hydrogen ties up carbonate ions and coverts them to bicarbonate ions. If you took science from any atheist teacher pretending this shit is not up for a creationist supply sider’s argument, then you may remember this process, it’s high school, or 101, I forgot it and had to reread it yesterday. Anywho…..sha zam, your acid eats away calcium in sea creatures, or in some bizarre cases like cuddle fish, it actually makes their hard parts grow faster and brittle.
Hey ride a bike, take a bus. Leave the lobsters alone.
Think about the lions, I bet you figure it out.
The uptake of anthropogenic (Caused or influenced by humans. Anthropogenic carbon dioxide is that portion of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that is produced directly by human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, rather than by such processes as respiration and decay.) CO2 by the global ocean induces fundamental changes
ReplyDeletein seawater chemistry that could have dramatic impacts on biological ecosystems in
the upper ocean. Estimates based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) business-as-usual emission scenarios suggest that atmospheric CO2 levels
could approach 800 ppm near the end of the century. Corresponding biogeochemical
models for the ocean indicate that surface water pH will drop from a pre-industrial
value of about 8.2 to about 7.8 by the end of this century, increasing the ocean’s acidity by about 150% relative to the beginning of the industrial revolution.
I'm not sure that we will make to the end of the century if things do not begin to change very soon.....like NOW!
First time I ever heard about CO2 raising the acidity level of the sea. Thanks for the eye opener.
ReplyDeleteWho gives a shit - the end is neigh! Seriously, until we get rid of the thumper right science denyers in Congress like Grassley, Inhofe, and the others, nothing will change.
