Oh and when did it start working ? Last senses I seen put climate change at the bottom of the list of things the public was concerned about .The only way it could have been lower on the list is if they would have included hang nails in the list .
It's working too.

Thank you. Why do you have an issue with the magnitudes involved?

Seawater pH is typically limited to a range between 7.5 and 8.4. However, there is no universally accepted reference pH-scale for seawater and the difference between measurements based on different reference scales may be up to 0.14 units.

The Medieval Warming Period was 3 or 4 degrees warmer than current temperatures.

No amount of scientific evidence is sufficient to assuage of the "concern's of people like Argartha.
Don't you that when people are "concerned" their "concerns" must be fully addressed in the fashion that they demand. No amount of contrary scientific evidence will do. They are "concerned" and therefore we must all spend billions of dollars to assuage their concerns.
When they are not "concerned", they are "offended" - which pretty much amounts to the same thing. When activists are "concerned" or "offended", the world must stop and pay attention or else.
Argartha was already provided with solid evidence that ocean acidivication was nothing more then alarmism. We no sooner go through the process and she pops right back with "concerns".
oops maybe this post will "offend" her.

Even a small change in co2 can cause warming. This can be confirmed with laboratory experiments. In fact, co2 warms the most as it increases on the low end since it is logarithmic. So moving from 200-400 PPM is a huge change, then from 400-600 is a moderate change, then the next change doesn't take place until 600-1000PPM. Even then the warming that would be created is very small in the grand scheme. Nowhere near enough to cause catastrophic climate change. The issue is how fast it is increasing. Even though it has increased faster in the past it hasn't happened while man has been around and living the way we live now. Even with a fast increase though it is relative. We have plenty of time to adapt to the coming changes even if we continue on our wasteful path. The best option is to adapt while we also change.

I would prefer if the government would dedicate funds to cleaning up all the plastic and trash that is accumulating in the ocean but hey...we all have our priorities.
