Ocean Health—Is There an “Acidification” Problem?

Many climate modelers assume there’s a direct relationship between carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere and carbon dioxide concentration (and consequently pH level) in the oceans. And since atmospheric CO₂ concentration is rising, they fear “ocean acidification.”

But as Dr. Jim Steele explains in Ocean Health—Is there an “Acidification” Problem? “Counter-intuitively, the total amount of CO₂ stored in the ocean” not only doesn’t correlate with the amount in the atmosphere, “it does not correlate with the [ocean] surface pH.” Despite this and more, climate alarmists keep up the cry that ocean acidification will kill off marine life and set off mass famines. Their claim is bunk. But showing that isn’t easy. Ocean Health does it—and shows that we have nothing to fear for our oceans from carbon dioxide emissions.
