The fact is that you deny climate change not because you know anything about science (as is clear) but because you dont WANT it to be true. That's nothing to do with reality. You can do all the wanting you like, it doesn't change what CO2 does in water or that you don't even know what an acid is (as is clear from your question about the concentration in ppm of H2CO3). The rest of what you say I said about govt and data is just made up. You're just a desperate liar who sounds off in public.

[LukeScientiae]

@buisyman Just as you made up things about CO2, you're now imputing to me things I never said about government control. I never said anything about the government. You have an ideological preference about the govt and it controls what you "think" you know about science. As with CO2, algae and what a paper is, you clearly know nothing about science. Saying you're a student of all sciences means nothing: you don't even know about simple highschool chemistry despite commenting on it.

[buisyman]

@LukeScientiae And you're a crackpot libtard commie who's only interested in getting government to control everything. You totally ignore anything that might show you to be wrong. Just like the IPCC, you fake data to prove your point, because, in typical liberal fasion, the truth is foreign to you. I'm a student of all sciences, not just one. I can prove (with data from NASA) that climate change is directly effected by solar activity. NOW, ANSWER MY QUESTION

[LukeScientiae]

@buisyman As all your comments have shown, starting with the CO2 and ending in algae (and what a paper is as opposed to a book in between), you're COMPLETELY scientifically illiterate. So you have no basis for assessing the science. You just mope about the internet posting comments. No idea what CO2 does in water, no idea how acids behave or what a scientific publication is or how to cite one. Of course you're going to ignore me and anyone else who doesn't agree with you; you're a crank!

[buisyman]

@LukeScientiae You DO realize, of course, that the myth of anthroprogenic global warming has been totally debunked, don't you? I just KNEW you were one of those adherents. Al Gore is a lier, and the release of the emails from the IPCC has totally destroyed man made global warming. Sorry, you lost me. I'm not paying attention to you anymore. go peddle your lies to someone else.

[LukeScientiae]

@buisyman That algae exists means nothing about man-made global warming or ocean acidification; they're both real phenomena you've taken absolutely no time to understand. You just post comments on topics about which you are ignorant merely because you don't WANT AGW to be true. That has nothing to do with reality. People like you happily ignore science and reality so there's no point talking to you.

[LukeScientiae]

@buisyman So what. Plants turn CO2 into O2 as well. You don't need algae. But that doesn't mean AGW isn't happening of that ocean acidification isn't destroying the biosphere. I answered your question about CO2 conc. by showing you why it's irrelevant (since it neglects basic highschool science). You're crank, churning out what you think you know (but don't actually) just to generate doubt about science you don't understand. As evidenced by your inability to distinguish papers and books.

[buisyman]

@LukeScientiae Ok, since you wonn't answer my question, I'll give you a litle information, instead. Did you know that, living in the oceans, is a life form that, although it's not a plant, it has certain qualities that plants have? it takes in CO2 and gives off oxigen. It's called Algae.

[buisyman]

@LukeScientiae That's all fine and well, but you've failed to answer my question: What is the H2CO3 count (in PPM) right now, and how much would it take to do irreperable damage to coral reefs?

[buisyman]

@LukeScientiae Yes they are, sooner or later. And besides, where, exactly, did I lie? I asked how something with no acidic properties can make something (ie., sea water) acidic. You have not proven that CO2 has any acidic properties on it's own. You DID, however, prove HOW something could make it acidic. Which, by the way, answered the question.
