Not knocking any of that data, but how it's dissimulated and how the numbers are manipulated.
Case in point. The below sentence sounds scary huge, however put into the earths total water content...

The question is, are the scientists percentages in many of their theories where there is no comparisons, really that detrimental to the cyclic nature of our earth? And in that sentence, how did they come up with such a figure? Probably measured a cubic yard of water for the chemical then just exponentially multiplied it out somehow. However, different parts of the oceans and all water is not identical. Anyhow, look at the the total water comparisons and then truthfully try to tell someone that the oceans keep all that Carbon diox and compound it every year instead of actually absorbing most of it like it always does or releases it into the atmosphere like our earth has done for eons. And plants have been sucking up carbon diox for like forever and also exhale carbon diox in great quantities. Are the worlds forests factored in these equations? It's a carbon cycle. Always has been. And after our present civilization is gone, will still be there. Like Facepalm, the earth is too big to kill.

My point being, just like vaccine misinformation from scientists and yes there are still quite a few who doubt vaccines and covid and now their peers are wondering what in the hell they're thinking..... the question isn't how much evidence does one need, but how much of the evidence is alarmists. And I'm referring to climate change, not covid with that comment. I'm in the middle with climate change, neither believer nor doubter. The modern human race is certainly polluting all over the place, but even with 200 years of pollution all the scientists can show is a degree of temperature change which doesn't remain constant, only educated guesses of the future, which is what science does and then change if needed when new data is discovered. And water levels aren't washing over new york either. My point of view will not sit with most the board and that's fine. I'm not contesting anyone's opinion of the board. And I am trying to keep my opinions to myself.
Sometimes I forget.

Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the acidity of surface ocean waters has increased by about 30%.13,14 This increase is the result of humans emitting more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and hence more being absorbed into the ocean. The ocean has absorbed between 20% and 30% of total anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions in recent decades (7.2 to 10.8 billion metric tons per year).15,16

How much does all the water in the earth's oceans weigh?

x = total tons on water (total volume) covering Planet Earth
315 million (total volume) cubic miles of water cover the Earth (estimated)
4,168,181,825 cubic meters of water are in a cubic mile
1 cubic meter of water weighs 2,206.07 lbs. or 1.103035 tons (1 ton = 2000 lbs.)
Therefore, 1.103035 tons/cubic meter * 4,168,181,825 cubic meters/cubic mile * 315 million total cubic miles of water on Earth = x
x = 1,448,259,888,391,745,625 tons of water covering Planet Earth, or
(1 trillion = 12 zeros; 1 quadrillion = 15 zeros; 1 quintillion = 18 zeros) *Exb. 1
Therefore, x = 1.4482598884 quintillion tons of water on Planet Earth, or
About 1.5 quintillion tons of total water weight cover Planet Earth

The Pacific Ocean is estimated to contain 187 quintillion gallons of water. That quantity is equal to about one-third of the water of all the oceans.
