…any acidification that converts sea water carbonate ions into bicarbonate ions is actually helping reefs and shell-making which only absorb the critical CO2 and bicarbonate ions.

Ocean Acidification
Pro: Carbon Dioxide is Dangerously Changing Ocean pH For more than 200 years, or since the industrial revolution, the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere has increased due…
Claim: Scientists find link between fast-melting Arctic ice and ocean acidification
An international team of researchers have sounded new alarm bells about the changing chemistry of the western region of the Arctic Ocean after discovering acidity levels increasing three to four times faster than…
Ocean Acidification Cut Down to Size
So it is that another scientific study has shown ocean acidification and warming to be a non-problem.
The Decline Effect – Part 1: Ocean Acidification
When all papers authored or coauthored by at least one of the lead investigators of those early studies were removed from the dataset (n = 41 studies, 45%), the decline…
Most Published Studies Exaggerated the Effects of Ocean Acidification – and Covid, Etc.
However, a problem with laboratory experiments is that they cannot capture the complexities of the real world, not even the tremendous natural variability in ocean pH – which is a…
Claim: Ocean Acidification and Warming Disrupts Fish Shoals
“If the ability for fish to work together is detrimentally affected it could determine the survival of particular species in the oceans of the future. Tropical species may initially fare…
James Cook University Researchers Refuted: “Ocean Acidification Does not Impair” Fish behaviour
Reposted from NoTricksZone By P Gosselin on 27. June 2021 Die kalte Sonne’s latest video here looks at a recent paper on ocean acidification and the impact it had been claimed to have on…
Fish adapt to ocean acidification by modifying gene expression
THE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG Research News Human-driven global change is challenging the scientific community to understand how marine species might adapt to predicted environmental conditions in the near-future (e.g.…
Something Smells Fishy: Allegations of Fraud in Ocean Acidification Research
While on tour in Australia in 2010, my friend, David Archibald said to me “Ocean Acidification is the last refuge of the climate scoundrels”. It appears he may be right.…
Ocean Acidification Effects Research in Doubt
“Munday’s and Dixson’s data on chemical signal preference had a “0 out of 10,000” chance of being real. They left it to the reader to decide what to think about…
Overview: ‘Ocean Acidification’
And then there is this new pteropod nonsense, deliberately ignoring the large difference that sea water temperature makes to their metabolism and hence shell formation. Even though the issue was…
Claim: Acidification impedes shell development of plankton off the US West Coast
Along the coast, upwelling from deeper water layers brings cold, carbon dioxide-rich waters of relatively low pH to the surface. The research, by a team of Dutch and American scientists,…
Claim: Ocean acidification locks algal communities in a simplified state
In a study published on 11th January 2021 in Global Change Biology, researchers from the University of Tsukuba have revealed that as oceanic carbon dioxide levels rise, the biodiversity and…
Claim: Ocean acidification causing coral ‘osteoporosis’ on iconic reefs
Scientists have long suspected that ocean acidification is affecting corals’ ability to build their skeletons, but it has been challenging to isolate its effect from that of simultaneous warming ocean…
Arctic Ocean acidification worse than previously expected
University of Bern The Arctic Ocean will take up more CO2 over the 21st century than predicted by most climate models. This additional CO2 causes a distinctly stronger ocean acidification.…
Ocean Acidification Study: CO2 Damages Algae
Guest essay by Eric Worrall According to scientists who bubbled CO2 through a tank full of wild algae, we need to be concerned about the health of the world’s seas…
The Total Myth of Ocean Acidification: Science! Edition
Guest myth-busting by David Middleton From the American Association of Science of America [1]… Ocean acidification could boost shell growth in snails and sea urchins By Katie Camero Jul. 23,…
AN OCEAN ACIDIFICATION EXPERIMENT
Author: Dr. Michael Chase, 16th May 2019 SCOPE This article describes the method and PRELIMINARY outcome of a relatively low cost “laboratory” (kitchen) experiment on the response of seawater pH…
Ocean Acidification Background Context
By Rud Istvan, This short post is drawn from the introductory section of essay Shell Games in my ebook Blowing Smoke, foreword from Prof. Judith Curry of Georgia Tech. The…
Scheme: ‘Electrogeochemistry’ captures carbon, produces fuel, offsets ocean acidification
From the UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA – SANTA CRUZ Researchers analyze global potential for ‘negative emissions energy’ using electricity from renewable sources to generate hydrogen fuel and capture carbon dioxide Limiting global…
The Total Myth of Ocean Acidification, Part Deux: The Scientific Basis
Guest essay by David Middleton Here’s a shocker… I’ve actually never seen Hot Shots! Part Deux. As much as I love stupid comedies, I’ve never actually seen the movie. But…
Coral seems to have its own strategy for adapting to ‘ocean acidification’
From KING ABDULLAH UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY (KAUST) and the “don’t worry, nature always finds a way” department Coral tricks for adapting to ocean acidification A process that changes the…
