Is manmade CO2 really killing the world, chemically and as a greenhouse gas, as the IPCC administrators claim?
The increased ocean acidity is not so easily explained. The global warming activists cite the phenomenon as proof that increased atmospheric CO2 from manmade sources exists, and that this increase is directly responsible for the increased acidity in the oceans. They fail to mention that the manmade increase in the global CO2 budget amounts to a mere 3% in comparison with natural sources, a large portion of which comes from the oceans themselves. I fail to see how the 3% increase that mankind is responsible for should endanger the oceans that contribute large amounts to the atmospheric CO2 in the first place. It appears more likely that the changes in acidity reflects variations of the intensity in the normally ongoing chemical reaction in the oceans. Chemical reactions typically intensify with increased temperatures. While those have been recorded, it cannot be said that mankind is responsible for them. Nevertheless the hype is on, blaming mankind’s economic activity in this case as in
