Always admit when your enemy is agile. The enemy of civilization is stupidity. I thought we had a silver bullet vs the Climate Denialist cult of stupid... in Ocean Acidification... the blatant fact that Ph levels around the world are plummeting and decisively caused by human generated carbon. (A 0.1 drop is huge. A decline of 0.3 would render the seas sterile for our purposes.) But never underestimate stooopid! Heres the new party line: When the CC cultists chatter on about ocean acidification, remind them the ocean is still basic, that an ocean becoming less basic does not mean the same thing as ocean acidification... Thomas P explains: the argument it cant be acidification as the pH is still above 7 is common among denialists. It works too, because lots of people figure if the ocean isnt acidic yet it cant be a problem. I assumed this would be self correcting. That only idiots would confuse a quantity with its rate of change. Or miss the fact that a slightly alkaline ocean is what we NEED, and that if the ocean becomes any LESS alkaline, we would be screwed. But stupidity is conserved. Okay then, lets try again. The trend is DEBASING THE OCEAN. The ocean is being be-based away from the alkaline state our lives and all life on Earth depends upon. Human generated CO2 is doing it. Moreover, those who writhe and find incantation-excuses to do nothing are complicit in this murder of our childrens future. And this debasing -- and the cult of frantically evading admitting it -- is proof that millions of our neighbors are stark, jibbering loonies.
