The prevailing theory is that ocean acidification (OA) and global temperature are tied to atmospheric CO2 levels(as illustrated in image 1 in my OP). Given that relationship, any historical change in one would correspond to a change in the other.
- npunt 6y agoMaybe I’m missing something but I don’t see anything about ocean acidification in those links, only temp/CO2 correlation, and the chart of ice core data only goes up to 280ppm CO2. Since we’re at 420 now yet we have had temperatures this high before, maybe that historic relationship can’t be relied upon (as humans weren’t there the last time) and another explanation is required?
