   Key point:

   “Ocean acidification has become the next Armageddon type scare since co 2 isn´t producing significant warming”

   ie, the Earth isn’t warming as much as we expected it to, so we came up with another scare story.

   I note they don’t even mention what the pH levels were just prior and subsequent to industrialization, nor do they mention what natural rate of change is over time. I’ll bet it isn’t constant.

   I guess Tim Williams doesn’t see the irony that the shells of corals and molluscs are composed of carbon dioxide (in the form of calcium carbonate), an increase of which he implies is leading to their dissolution.
