From Watts Up With That:

Pending confirmation of the study’s findings, it might be time to rehearse the walk-back on sea-level rise: Fine. So maybe there isn’t a direct connection between rising CO2 concentrations and civilization-destroying sea-level rise. But no climate progressives have ever argued that there was. It’s ocean acidification that has always been our principal concern — our only one, really, when you rethink about it.

Expect a peer-reviewed report on ocean acidification as the number-one threat to the Maldives to go into production immediately.
