I stated that i was talking about relatively low PH, as in compared to the current PH level in the oceans. Frankly i don't know the exact PH threshold where the majority of aquatic life forms would perish

thanks for that link, but i won't be able to respond anytime soon since i'm at work and i can't be bothered reading a 7 page document here:D

i would if it was free, unfortunately i do not have a credit card to buy an online version, nor would i expect to understand much of the scientific jargon that is generally used in science papers. However their proposal that only 40% of the warming of our planet is a result of GHGs is...

plus what would cause water to retreat and re-enter the basin if the earth is simply esxpanding?

oh i know that the pairies used to be underwater, but if hes proposing that the earth is expanding, we should see only fairly young terrestrial dinosaurs and fairly old aquatic species buried in alberta, however fossils from the triassic and jurassic are also found from both aquatic and...

1998 was the warmest year in the past 30 years, afterwards temperatures continued a downward trend with its lowest being 2008. Perhaps cimatologists should start investigating just how much of the son's energy is stored in oceans/land and the general length of time it takes to release the...

You're missing my point, We don't know the magnitude in which the sun affects the envrionment in relation to our carbon output. There is only evidence pertaining to the past 100 years, but how constant is the energy output of the sun? How can you say that solar output is constant in the next 100...

Ocean PH level will not reach 6, i doubt they would go any lower than 7. Over the past 100 years ocean ph levels have dropped by about 0.1 in magnitude. The oceans would need to be saturated in H2CO3 in order for the acidity to approach 4 PH. There would be no way the release of carbon deposited...

so basically in your theory terrestrial species would be limited to mountainous ranges and select high plateaus. Extraordinary claims require extra-ordinary evidence, and it requires physical proof rather than a graphical explaination that could still be explained using the more substantiated...

this is basing off the assumption that this 30 year trend would continue for the enxt 100 years, but from what i see from the graph, solar flare activity declined at around the same time temperature reached 30 year lows, so naturally you can see why i think Solar Variations are more important in...

i doubt it would wipe out the majority of aquatic species in oceans. I agree that certain species would certainly be more susceptible to the acidification but we know far to little to gauge the potential consequences of the PH change to really make any definite predictions. Is there a predicted...

have scientists managed to calculate the amount of PH shift in oceans? Have they accounted for possible substrates that may bind to the carbonic acid rendering it PH neutral? It would also be interesting to see which aquatic species survive in a relatively low PH environment, perhaps we would...

Asian grade-school students rule math, science: study at least our post secondary education is still top notch :-?

...where would the water be in the past if the earth was as small as you say? what mechanism is causing the expansion of the earth? How do you know that the ocean floor is young because of subduction pushing the floor under plates or onto dry land?

However, if its a question concerning the avaliability of fuel, science is working on it. Though i can understand your rationale, if GW is not man-made then there is no real purpose for government mandated regulation of carbon emissions, if we do run low on oil, then neccessity would provide us...

How do scientists account for flucuations in solar output? Solar strength varies from year to year, how can scientist predict future temperature change if the solar variability changes without scientists expecting it. In order for a climate model to work scientists can only assume that solar...

oh yes i know. Proponents of GW disregard Solar Variant theory that shows a correlation of temperature with solar forcing, most disregard any possible natural factors that may come to play in aggravating or mitigating GW. it could very well be that scientist focused far too much on the anthropic...

no my comments pertain to the fear-mongering of mass media concerning GW and the haste in which scientist declare a conclusion, despite mounting evidence that contradict the GW theory.

hilarity ensues more or less summary "9/11 wouldn't have happened if Israel didn't exist." "Islam should take over the world, and it will." "Correct yourselves, fix your society, fix your women... You take your women and dress them like *****s on the street." so now the question is, how...

i'm aware that there was no concensus, but enough public attention was given to the theory to elicit the same response as it did to GW
