Anyway, in reply to Je...Whoa, I have a reader!!!!! Anyway, in reply to Jeff's good question, I simply Googled the words: 'ph of oceans'(without the quotes) and found numerous sources detailing studies of the ph balance of the oceans. One can be found at:<BR/><A>http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/<BR/>News/2005/July/01070501.asp</A>.<BR/>Wikipedia has an article on it as well and lists a half dozen or so additional outside sources. Also check out this: <A>http://www.royalsoc.ac.uk/<BR/>document.asp?id=3249</A><BR/><BR/>The studies that I have checked (certainly not all of them, I do have a life) show that the ph is dropping, i.e., becoming more acidic. Of course, 100% certainty is impossible in science, so the link to increased atmospheric CO2 is not certain either, but the evidence is there and men and women have been placed on death row on cases that were weaker.A Romantic Rationalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03736205379321657450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769181567932283032.post-27887532438172000402007-05-20T17:16:00.000-07:002007-05-20T17:16:00.000-07:00Do you know if anyone has actually measured the in...Do you know if anyone has actually measured the increase in pH of the oceans due to global warming? I have read in some places and heard in my Zoology class that the increased pH has 'bleached' many coral reafs and may lead to the extinction of many anthozoans.Jeff Matzkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10732339509914564765noreply@blogger.com
