I am pretty sure that among my regular readers, only RedStateVT is a nonbeliever in Global Warming. He is just not convinced that the measured warming is the result of human activity. However, I do not think he denies the fact that human activity is causing the world to emit more CO2.
Advocates that nothing needs to change like to point out that the oceans absorb CO2. Now comes a report on the reality that acidic ocean water is destroying shell fish beds and shell fish farming. For now, the farming can offset the acid with alkalizers, but they do not believe they will be able to do so forever.
What this means is, that if you enjoy shell fish (Oysters, Clams, Scallops, Lobsters, Shrimp) you should be concerned about reducing the CO2 emission into the atmosphere because the shell fish in the ocean cannot stand any more CO2 being absorbed into the oceans. There is nothing any nation in the world can do to stop this tomorrow. All we can do is make slow progress aimed at improving this situation. That means attacking CO2 emissions to save the Shell Fish.
and I would add, who knows what the acid in the ocean will do to any other living thing that swims in it.
What a win! Reduce CO2 to lower acid in the oceans and have the side effect of working to slow Global Warming.
