Professor Phil Jones exonerated.

[pjclarke]

As the ice cap freezes up again, have you noticed how the Ocean Acidification argument is being pushed to the surface.

Nope, I do spot an attempt at misdirection on the day that Phil Jones is exonerated, though.

I don't suppose they've thought about spending £300 on a fish tank and pumping CO2 in it to see how marine life reacts,

Course they have, most-cited is Feely et al which found that doubling of atmospheric CO2 results in a reduction in calcification rates of between 5 and 25% across different organisms.

If you're pumping CO2 into your fish tank, I suggest you stop.

According to the Royal Society (as opposed to the error-ridden blog of a retired TV weatherman)

"Action needs to be taken now to reduce global emissions of CO2 to the atmosphere to avoid the risk of large and irreversible damage to the oceans. We recommend that all possible approaches be considered to prevent CO2 reaching the atmosphere. No option that can make a significant contribution should be dismissed."

Anyone spot a pattern here?

the examiner does not hold back.

Please inform me, a non UK person, about what kind of news outlet the examiner is. Reputable or equal to National Enguirer?

The arctic ice extent still growing I see:

An extra million square km's compared to 2006.

hmm....

climate change is scary but this is scarier

You can pop down to the annual Crufts dog show to look at the proof of evolution.

Or the garden centre or any bacteriologists lab or entermologists lab or any pharma company lab that makes insecticides for that matter. Geologists and paleontologists have a fair bit of supporting evidence for evolution too.

AGW has absolutely no credibility as far as I'm concerned as there is no evidence that the current climate changes are linked to human CO2 production activity and not simply natural planetary fluctuations.

Now if you want to point to climate alterations which are man made then take a look at the Sahara Desert, bits of what used to be the Amazon or Sumatran rain forests or the soot covered Himalayan glaciers.

Yes, you repeat your religious dogma over and over....

what and kill the plants and the coral ??

It is quite normal to pump CO2 into an aquarium.

[gingerjedi]

Exactly, no inheritance, no foreign holidays, no V8's... poor little buggers will have nothing to look forward to as they grow up.

[shaunbhoy]

Pretty much 'Not Guilty' on all charges, it would seem. With the exoneration of Professor Mann by Penn State , and the clearing of Dr Pachauri by KPMG, the internet is going to be swamped over the next few days by the sheer volume of apologies from those who shouted 'fraud' and 'coverup'.

:

Exonerated by the very politicians that will use their data to punitively raise everyone's taxes.
So they are now right up there on the back of the same moral panto high-horse as the Banks, that are justified in continuing to rip off their customers for exorbitant Bank Charges. Whoop-De-Doo.

Erm....

There's an awful lot of evidence that long before mankind or even mammals evolved the atmospheric CO2 levels have been vastly higher than they are now and life positively thrived in the sea and on land.

In periods when vulcanism is high (there's bog all now compared to many periods through geological history) there are more atmospheric pollutants in the carbide, nitride and sulphide families lobbed up in a year than mankind has ever produced since it first discovered fire.

Planet Earth is a dynamic and changable system with, in human terms, very long timescales, taking a miniscule, statistically trivial period like a century and attempting to prove a trend is unbelievably naive and arrogant.
