Ocean acidification.... disproof?
Today brings more of the usual Carbon Cult raving about dying oceans, acidification, etc.
I decided to find a past source for comparison. (I like to check publications between 1890 and 1910, which was pretty much the peak period of realistic science. Before those years, instrumentation wasn't well-developed; after those years, most of science was destroyed by Leninism or bizarre abstractions and delusions.) A highly readable and lively 1895 report of an oceanographic voyage to the Bahamas gives a precise figure for dissolved CO2 in that area: 50 cc of carbon dioxide per liter of water.
Then located a passage in a 2011 book, 'Essentials of Oceanography' by Garrison.
Hmm. Still 50 cc per liter after a century. So where's the extreme gasification and acidification? Maybe nowhere.
