What’s the counter point to this?
- JohnJamesRambo 7y agoHow can there be a counterpoint to a scientific measurement? It either is or isn’t more acidic.
- Allower 7y agoHas it been replicated? Who took the measurement? What are their potential conflicts of interest? What is the proof of validation for their tools and instruments? What assumptions did they make? What methods did they use? How sound was their reasoning? Don't be a science dogmatist
- comicjk 7y agoThere could be sampling issues, since you can't measure the whole ocean at once. The CO2 in the atmosphere is linked to the carbonic acid in the ocean, though, and both indicators point in the same direction.

- shard972 7y agoYep, it's either the truth or conspiracy fantasies, no other positions... This is why people don't take climate change as serious as they should
- booboolayla 7y agoFirst would be that there's no such thing as "California oceans". Second would be that, just like with CO2, the fact that "it's rising!!$#!" does not mean much without a quantification of how much will that actually affect anything ("a sand beach rose by one billion grains of sand" would be an example of the trick used.) Third would be open access to data and methodology, which is most likely lacking.
