So, what am I missing?
Hi engineerdude,

I have some evidence for you to consider. It's all about what happens to the oceans when their supply of atmospheric CO2 increases substantially:

1. Pacific Coast Lines Turn Acidic - Carbon dioxide increases oceanic water acidity

2. Acidic seas threaten coral and mussels

3. Puget Sound orcas down to 86

The last one has been explained by the declining salmon populations, which have dwindled in recent years, owing to overfishing, of course, but also to the shocking rise of oceanic acidity. It's ten times higher than it's suppose to be. It's altering marine habitats. And it's definitely connected to global warming.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
