Posted Tue Dec 11 2007: from Journal of Carbon Balance and Management:


	Projected climate change impact on oceanic acidification http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1197408458 "Future projections of ocean acidification will therefore mainly be dependent on the future level of atmospheric CO2. The consequences of a small but sustained decrease in oceanic pH on marine phytoplankton are virtually unknown. It will be important for marine ecologists in the future to better understand the sensitivities of phytoplankton growth to pH in particular, so as to better quantify the likely future biological changes at the regional and global scale."

The ApocaDocs say:

Our favorite part from the abstract (as only scientists could say it): "This suggests the only way to slowdown or mitigate the potential biological consequences of future ocean acidification is to significantly reduce fossil-fuel emissions of CO₂ to the atmosphere."
