Why Climate Scientists were Duped into Believing Rising CO2 will Harm Coral and Mollusks

The world can only hope that NOAA and all those alarmist websites will soon admit that improved science has revealed the error of their ways

Un-refutable Evidence of Alarmists’ Ocean Acidification Misinformation in 3 Easy Lessons

…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.

No, NBC News, Giving the Ocean Antacids Will Not Help Curb Climate Change

Adding antacids won’t have any effect on the temperature dependent chemical process in the oceans, and these researchers will soon discover that their efforts would be miniscule in the big…

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.

Star Marine Ecologist Committed Misconduct, University Says

Finding against Danielle Dixson vindicates whistleblowers who questioned high-profile work on ocean acidification

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…

Climate Fish Scare Turns Out To Be Just a Fish Story

According to a new study publishing February 3rd in PLOS Biology, however, previously high-profile worries about an effect on fish behaviour appear to have declined.

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…

Fundamentals of Ocean pH

We are often told that the CO2 released from burning fossil fuels will cause dangerous ocean acidification. Actually the oceans will remain comfortably alkaline and hospitable to life for the…

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.…

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,…

CNN: Climate Change is Driving Fatal Shark Attacks

According to CNN, Climate Change is making sharks more desperate by destroying the ecosystems which feed them, leading to a surge in fatal shark attacks on humans.

Algorithms in Ocean Chemistry: a review

For those wanting a deep dive on ocean physical chemistry, this new ebook is a much better and more detailed explanation than I could ever hope to provide

Acid Oceans? & Oyster Shells

What’s Natural? Guest post by Jim Steele Published July 14, 2020 in the Pacifica Tribune (I wrote a white paper for the CO2  Coalition, providing more details and references to…

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.…

Podcast: Why the Oceans Really Aren’t “Acidifying” but the Term Is Being Abused by Science and Media

Science and media outlets claim ocean acidification is happening due to increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. But objective data show the ocean is far from acidic according to Dr.…
