The oceans are alkaline, not acid. The 30% number is something they pulled out of their posteriors. Corals and shellfish evolved when atmospheric CO2 levels were 10-20X higher than today. It is beyond ludicrous to claim that CO2 is reducing their ability to form shells. The chemical properties of Aragonite have not changed.
These people are determined to take control of world governance no matter how many lies they have to tell.

Timely warning with all those invertebrates congregating in Cancun….
Test on laboratory fish have found that more acidic water rewires their brains, turning them into fish with a death wish.
Goes to show: AGW rewires the brain and turns people into sheeple with a death wish.
Good news for all those Cancun CO2 Connoisseurs
Brazil: Amazon deforestation falls to new low
Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has fallen to its lowest rate for 22 years, the government says. Satellite monitoring showed about 6,450 sq km of (2,490 sq miles) of rainforest were cleared between August 2009 and July 2010, a drop of 14% compared with the previous 12 months…. it is far lower than the peak of 27,772 sq km in 2004. Deforestation is thought to be responsible for about 20% of CO2 emissions worldwide. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-11888875
Food for thought… especially for those at the Zealots Jolly Jamboree in Cancun…
Pakistan’s forgotten flood survivors still being found
Tens of thousands of Pakistanis cut off by flooding in August have still not received any aid. In Sindh Province, floodwaters are slowly receding and whole communities of desperate people are being identified for the first time.
In all that time, the villagers received nothing from the outside world. No tents, no plastic sheeting, no building materials for basic shelters, no clean drinking water and no food, apart from one parcel retrieved from an early aid drop.

Just noticed this amazing spin story from the ever reliable Richard Black… you know it makes sense to spend £50,000 for no direct tangible benefits… please form an orderly queue behind the sign that says: A Fool and His Money Are Soon Parted.
Carbon counting is ‘good for business’
UK companies that measure their carbon emissions do not find the exercise arduous or expensive – and some say it brings benefits, a report concludes.
They found no direct tangible benefits from the act of reporting emissions; but, they relate, reporting emissions forces a company to measure them first, and that does bring benefits.
Most companies said the costs of measuring and reporting emissions did not meaningfully impact their businesses, with two-thirds spending less than £50,000 on the exercises.

Corals don’t mind more co2:

Is Ice Age good for Coral?
We have shamed the Gods.
Release the Kraken!
No worries. Died before he made it out of the cave. Poor bast@ard couldn’t handle the change in alkalinity.
Another species lost to Climate Change.
Global warming causes cat to grow. This is the scene outside James Hansen’s window:

Look at the accompanying pictures where researchers actually did decrease the alkalinity using CO2; the results are quite profound, many will be shocked. Then take note of what most researchers actually use to decrease the alkalinity. Hint: it isn’t CO2. 🙂
There is much fraud and deceit in AGW climate “science”. Before the advent of the internet there was no way to know.
Also, this is a comprehensive online book from CO2science on coral reefs. Very informative.

Of course it must be the (non)acidification and not the facts reported a couple of years ago about how people eat too much fish and so there are not that many edible fish’ left around the coast. They’ve reclassifying other fish’ as edible though but they have mysteriously also started to disappear. So it’s the acidification problem in South east asia and japan too right? And was it New Zeeland having the same type of problems so I guess the drag marks around the kwiwi coast is not from heavy trolling but weird and mysterious acidification phenomenon?
It should be of some interest to anyone wanting the truth to realize that the PH scale didn’t exist until this chemist for the Carlsberg Brewery came up with it and it seems like that was after the beginning of the industrial revolution; so, how did anyone know what the PH was before there was even a scale to measure it?
“In a publication of 1909 (see reference below), the Danish scientist Soren P.L. Sörenson discussed the inadequacy of measuring acidity by the total amount (normality) of acid additions to a particular solution.”

Question: if the acidity went up 30%, which was the original pH value? (You wouldn’t dip your toe in it and get it back.)
