Climate change turning seas acid: scientists

BONN, Germany (Reuters) - Climate change is turning the oceans more acid in a trend that could endanger everything from clams to coral and be irreversible for thousands of years, national science academies said on Monday.

Seventy academies from around the world urged governments meeting in Bonn for climate talks from June 1-12 to take more account of risks to the oceans in a new U.N. treaty for fighting global warming due to be agreed in Copenhagen in December

Here we go for the full bore fight against global warming even though there have been hundreds of scientists that have come out saying that it simply is not true. As to this report I dunno are seas have been poisoned long before the supposed climate change.. The world has been dumping garbage into the sea for quite some time. Maybe we have some marine biologists on the site that could shed some light into this report for us...

This is not global warming. Our oceans are in trouble and there is plenty of data to back it up. This is real man-made problem and action needs to be taken.

"To avoid substantial damage to ocean ecosystems, deep and rapid reductions of carbon dioxide emissions of at least 50 percent (below 1990 levels) by 2050, and much more thereafter, are needed," the academies said in a joint statement.

Just read the article and got pretty angry. In case you are not aware we exhale CO2. What do you want to bet that the private jets, limousines, war machines, etc., keep humming along while we are told to pay a tax to breath. No way!

Yes because that's exactly what this is about... just keep doing nothing is a better solution.

Well, the constant dumping of only-God-knows-what into our oceans, maybe we deserve it. What we do comes back to haunt/reward us. Karma's a *****.

I know Somalia has been used as a dumping ground for ages. Is Somalia a grim look at things to come. Also enjoy your fish with feet!

I heard this was from the destruction of the coral reefs and the other underwater life that cleans the ocean and not warming, anyone else heard anything similar? I would imagine all the toxic waste dumping is not helping either.

I don't know but its obvious that the powers that be are going to try to tie this into the push to end "global warming" and that is what concerns me...
