CO2, GLOBAL WARMING AND CORAL REEFS: PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE by Dr. Craig D. Idso
Ocean Acidification Will not Kill Coral Reefs and Shellfish by Patrick Moore
There is a recent and interesting study in GRL ... This study reports on the change
in ocean alkalinity over a 15 year period (1991-
The result was a big increase in acidity—to levels higher than have been predicted for the future due to human emissions—yet, the coral continued to flourish. (local) (Be sure to follow the links to other articles on this site)
Coastal Ocean Acidification: Answering the Seattle Times
The Seattle Times emphasized the “lethal” waters that were killing shellfish,
particularly oyster larvae. But the truth is that native shellfish species living
in our waters have been doing fine. In fact, even non-

Ocean Acidification — a little bit less alkalinity could be a good thing
In Brief: The oceans are not acidic, and will not become acidic in the foreseeable future. Many of the fears and alarming scenarios are based on models. Many scary headlines are based on studies of extreme pH values beyond the range of anything realistic.
Incredibly, hundreds of studies show that for pH changes that we are likely to encounter in the next 100 years, there is arguably a net benefit to underwater life if the oceans became a little less alkaline.
Scripps blockbuster: Ocean acidification happens all the time — naturally
There goes another scare campaign.
Until recently we had very little data about real time changes in ocean pH around
the world. Finally autonomous sensors placed in a variety of ecosystems “from tropical
to polar, open-
It turns out that far from being a stable pH, spots all over the world are constantly changing. One spot in the ocean varied by an astonishing 1.4 pH units regularly. All our human emissions are projected by models to change the world’s oceans by about 0.3 pH units over the next 90 years, and that’s referred to as “catastrophic”, yet we now know that fish and some calcifying critters adapt naturally to changes far larger than that every year, sometimes in just a month, and in extreme cases, in just a day
Failing the Acid Test – Jane Lubchenco
So the basis of all the hype is a calculation from an estimate, which gives a precise figure of 0.1 pH decrease, they don’t even know the consequences of changes in pH, and the conclusions they reach are based on an extrapolation of eighteen years of data from one Pacific ocean station, to 2100 and 2300
4. IPCC WGI state that the mean pH of surface waters ranges between 7.9 and 8.3 in the open ocean, so the ocean remains alkaline. It is dishonest to present to a lay audience that any perceived reduction in alkalinity means the oceans are turning to acid.
5. The claim that “ocean acidity” has increased by 30% since before the industrial revolution was calculated from the estimated uptake of anthropogenic carbon between 1750 and 1994, which shows a decrease in alkalinity of 0.1 pH unit, well within the range quoted by IPCC.
9. There are many contrary peer reviewed papers challenging the claims about the impact of CO2 on the oceans. One survey highlights some one hundred and fifty such papers, most of them showing that we cannot possibly acidify the oceans. The IPCC claims to present the physical science basis for IPCC claims
Dying Shell Fish Larvae: A Distorted View
Prominent scientists have claimed that high mortality rates in Oyster hatcheries operated in the North West Pacific, are due to “acid seawater” resulting from upwelling of the deep ocean. There is no acid seawater. As stated in AR4 WGI, the oceans are alkaline, not acid.
Those same scientists stated that bacterial contamination of seawater was not to blame for the high oyster larvae mortality rates.
Contrary to their false claims, the problem of early oyster mortality has been found to be directly caused by a faecal organism, Vibrio tubiashii. Research programs are currently underway to investigate the extent and resolution of the problem.
This research is being conducted by the Pacific Shellfish Institute and was known at the time of the acid seawater claims.
The fact that this was not considered or was even ignored, when the claims of “acid
seas damage” were made, is at worst, mischievous and at best, very un-
