Why would the onus be on a commentator to provide citations for a fact one could readily <branded search engine verb> for in less time than our roundtrip efforts combined? (me not being the commentator either, to boot!) it almost sounds like you can't believe peanut butter is sticky... I mean, I suppose "calfiferous plankton" is kinda a giveaway that ocean acidification would affect it...

  > actually having conflicting results: "Conflicting" only if you want to ignore a significant part of the text behind the very link you give: "A more recent multi-model study estimated that primary production would decline by 2-20% by 2100 A.D.[12] Despite substantial variation in both the magnitude and spatial pattern of change, the majority of published studies predict that phytoplankton biomass and/or primary production will decline over the next century.[11][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47]" (Note the majority and how many of them are cited (all the numbers in brackets) and could be checked. It's surely not "one says yes, one says no".)
