WUWT
Back in July I wrote a piece
that was published at Wattsupwiththat.com regarding the ocean
acidification hypothesis (OA) and some of the issues I had with it.
After reading the comments and more importantly reading a rebuttal
I went through my equations sheet and found a few errors. Unfortunately
life issues ate up a bunch of my time over the fall and winter. I have
been lucky to have a break recently from tutoring and the onboarding
process for one of the atomic laboratories is a bit slow so I had the
time to finish this piece. .....
5. Conclusions
After finishing my research and corrections, I was certainly able to
corroborate the numerical consensus regarding pH changes as a function
of CO2 concentration. However the correction did little to curb my
skepticism of an anthropogenic ocean acidification hypothesis and the
purported harms. There are simply too many false assumptions required
for the idea to play out through its mathematical model. .......Beyond these factors there simply has not been a solid organized long
term study of oceanic pH to validate any of the claims. As is frequent
in climate science we see gorgeous model visualizations rather than
actual data, and we see claims rather than facts."
