Yeah yeah...relax, we're just flippin you crap. You are obviously passionate and intelligent; you could always converse with us about these topics. After all, they do affect ALL of us. This is a forum...
I didn't expect to be 'hazed' upon joining RF. Oh well, I'm glad we've at least started a discussion about ocean acidification. Seems like most of the research so far on this topic has been in temperate seas. God knows what it's doing to the coral reefs, but it's probably not good. I'm probably one of the few who gets their seawater from the Seattle Aquarium...I should probably start testing that water before using it for partial water changes. Wonder if bodies of freshwater are acidifying too?
I think one message we should all take from this (in case you haven't already) is that we all need to reduce our fossil fuel use in any way we can, try to persuade others to do the same, and pressure our lawmakers to push for climate change legislation.
Oh, and if anyone can show me how to attach a pdf of the Sci Am article to a posting, please let me know.
