The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

“Good for us, not so good for the world's oceans”

The oceans will do fine - maybe not w the same set of creatures as exists now, but marine creatures have been resilient. The oldest carbonate rocks are >2.5 billion yrs. those rocks form by creatures removing CO2. The Devonian was considerably warmer and atmosphere considerably higher CO2 concentrations (and would have had really impressive surfing and full moons). The oceans and creatures in the oceans did fine until they didn’t and a new set of creatures came along. Some form of carbonate forming/atm CO2 buffering creatures were a constant throughout.

Folks that talk about ocean acidification are usually spouting BS.
