Ocean Acidification... in a nutshell

Our emissions of carbon dioxide threaten to alter the very chemistry of sea water and change life in our oceans within the span of a single human lifetime.

@listen2meokidoki Your reply just made you sound like a self-absorbed idiot, who doesn't realise the differences in language within different cultures. Also, you spelled 'appaling' wrong :)

@donsjuand You said to RoyStewart (no doubt a Scotsman) "Go blow smoke up your own ass - people don't need your lies". Well, you should have said Kilt not Ass. And Arse not Ass. But anyway, the sort of language I'm reading here is appauling. The only compensation is that "this" isn't the sort of debate one should expect in a scientific PEER review. Yes, we are obviously not scientist. Or are we? PS: Americans are not scientists because they can't spell METRE! A METER is a measuring device, etc!

@RoyStewart Lets not get more confused by calling people fascists. I'm quite sure almost everyone is either factually correct, or incorrect. But mostly, confused. A fascist is a political animal who believes absolutely in an ideology. The problem with understanding excess CO2 is that it is essentially a scientific question. Humans, like monkeys are political animals. But political questions are never settled when the body politic doesn't understand the facts. We need to humour the few fascists.

@RoyStewart, although i disagree with you, for now i will accept that you think global warming is a farce. However, you cannot deny that we are definitely adding co2 to the atmosphere, and it is scientific fact, not theory, that this will lead to ocean acidification. You are a fool.

@donsjuand Sorry but you are the one who is peddling lies, you fake eco fascist.

Good video, keep up the knowledge sharing :)

CO2 reacts with water to create carbonic acid, H2CO3. Basic chemistry.

This is your acid and you are a fool.

@RoyStewart Go blow smoke up your own ass - people don't need your lies.

@karlmahlmann Well said.
