The blogprof highlights a story from the BBC that casts doubt on the theory of man-made global warming. Clownfish, the tropical species featured in the film Finding Nemo, tend to lose their hearing in more acidic water, and the oceans have been absorbing greater amounts of CO2, thus increasing their acidity, the story reports. The blogprof responds:
Now, what interested me about the article the most is the above argument is a tacit admission that any extra CO2 in the atmosphere doesn’t stay in the atmosphere but is rather absorbed by various surfaces and media including the ocean. This undermines the alarmists claim that extra CO2 produced by man remains in the atmosphere and causes global warming. you cannot have both. Either the extra CO2 remains in the atmosphere or it does not. It turns out that the acidification of the oceans is more backed by science than non-existent global warming: News: CO2 levels in atmosphere haven’t changed in at least 150 years
