#1 Seas are moving from Alkali towards more neutral.

It's Pure spin to say seas are getting acidic.

#2 A long article with no actual pH data.

Per elsewhere, between 1751 and 1994 surface ocean pH is estimated to have decreased from approximately 8.25 to 8.14 with the arctic acidification greater and the tropical acidification less so

#5 They have been trying everything since the 70s to convince us that CO2 is evil and we need to stop using fossil fuels to keep whatever disaster they predict from happening.

I am almost to the point that if someone whines about "greenhouse" gasses and the damage man has done with them I will punch the dumb fuck in the face.

#8 Whatever factoids must be cherry-picked in order to preserve the grant money and the narrative WILL be cherry-picked.

Resistance is futile.

#12 "PEAK TREES/WOOD/FORESTS" + "PEAK TUNA"

versus

THE MIGHTY "SLUSHY" = NEW ICE AGE/MINI-ICE AGE???

"Icy, but not Frozen", as James Bond 007 would paraph.

I say "slushy", in part, in remembrance of childhood dreams/visions where I seemingly dipped my hand + arm into what I preceived as "used to be" the former tropical Pacific.

#13 More ...

* WORLD NEWS > [Gizmodo] THIN WE'RE HEADED FOR A NEW ICE AGE? YOU'RE WRONG.

The alleged coming "Mini-Ice Age" may prove to be a SUN-DRIVEN GLOBAL HEAT WAVE/PERIOD THATS JUST NOT AS HOT AS IT SHOULD BE, thanks to minor cooling = icy conditions.

Yet another third-party affirmation of the "Great/Mighty Slushy".

* SAME > FOUR HUGE VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS [ancient]ARE TO BLAME FOR "LITTLE ICE AGE".

As per MADONNA + GUAM TAOTAMONAS, once again Virgina we learn why the "2012" Movie's scene of an Apocalyptic/Cataclysmic Tidal Wave crashing oer the Himalayas + bell-ringing, brave devout Tibetan/Buddhist Monk should had been VOLCANOES [East Asia REGION-WIDE ERUPTIONS = VOLCANISM].

D *** NG IT, YOU DID IT TO US AGAIN, DIDN'T YOU, PICARD/JEAN LUC - THE MONK WASN'T EVEN WEARING GLASSES, + EVEN MADONNA SAYS "NO NIPPLES" FOR THE SUPERBOWL!
