Acid Seawater as a Result of Globan Warming
One of the issues with most of the models of global warming is that they have been wrong most of the time.
The problem is that they have been wrong because they've been too conservative, and each time new data comes out, it's worse than predictions.
Now we are seeing Acidified seawater showing up in Pacific coastal waters about a century ahead of schedule.
Basically, as ocean water heats, it absorbs more CO2, and this turns the water more acid.
The measurements found a pH of 7.6, as opposed to the normal 8.1
