Wager Ten Oysters

Hi,

where is the carbonate going to be deposited if no longer in marine organism shells?

How big may be the amount of carbonate to be in permanent solution in the oceans if pH is raising? Temperature shall be included as solubility sharply rises as temperature is going down!

This is in contrary to most other solubilities that go up with temperature!

More questions: is anything known about the "big bangs" of Permian to Triassic and Cretacien to Tertiary times. At the first bang there was a major switching from non-carbonate to carbonate deposition. At the other event a switching back.

Marine fish life survived but may be shell-fish was in severe problems.

I do not know enough to really argue here. But as I feel that there will not be a significant reduction in CO2 emission we should discuss some scenarios what may happen.

In wild-life any sea living shell-fish has to have protection against predators: thick shells.

In more modern "aqua-farming" this may not be necessary any more. So will we have oysters with very thin shells?

Please give some more information.

Well ...consider Ph and co-factors important for marine sustainnability and as a general rule for ALL biological organisms,including VIRUS ! !

The Progress implies a price ...NO regulation and efective control OF THE LEGAL MONEY circulating around will project voracious future with CHINESE people and the

ASIANS(tics)consuming exponencial resources,as "Transformed fish",and because the ecosystem are inter-linked,you and me well be promoted with "Genetic BEEF presentation",a generous gift from the NutriGenomicsFUTURES ...! !

Welcome to this inter-related vision ....

... and for your remenbering future and weekend,(re)visit the "Matrix revolutions".

I dont embrace The hollywood ILUSION,but pay attention,to the "architect" and the

Actually the basic bio-available form used by nearly all life forms is bicarbonate (much higher solubility), not carbonate. You find this form as a buffering compound in most organisms. Shifts towards carbonate prevalence drive the overall carbonic species concentrations down drastically. So depending on the pH, usually slightly above neutral, you could actually increase the bio-availability of carbonic species by a slight decrease in pH. Also, don't most of the plankton use silica based structures, particularly the phytoplankton, and aren't they the base food source. It seems obvious that a pH shift can change the the equilibrium between sopecies in the oceans, but some important species are likely to perform better under the conditions while other not so much. so are we really talking about a oceanic desert or more of a shift from a Pine forest to a Maple forest type replacement condition as environmental conditions change.

Any disruption to the food chain will initially decrease primary production. It is a very broad statement to suggest a darwin'ist approach to anthropogenic influenced changes to oceanic pH will allow life to exist. Living corals and shell fish have seen declines in growth and abundance. In a controlled environment it is clear that both organisms will not prosper from ocean acidification.

Here is another resource.

Be careful what you suggest with any balanced chemical equation using bicarbonate alone. The carbonate series is controlled by temperature and pH. Decrease pH and increase sea surface temperature and we will continue to observe negative impacts on marine environments.

There is a problem with that report. As temps go up so does Ph. co2 is less soluble at higher temperature. Co2 forms an acid in water and is where much of ocean acidity comes from. It is extremely unlikely that temp will go up and acidity will also go up. What is most likely is that if ocean temps go up acidity will go down and Ph will go up.

At our present rate we are likely to see atmospheric carbon dioxide reach over 500ppm over the next century. With the increased partial pressure and saturation of surface oceans with CO2 models predict a decrease of 0.31 pH. Increased CO2 causes dissolution of calcium carbonate. With the increased concentration we will see a rise in the the carbonate compensation depth. This explains why there are fluctuation in limestone deposits of long periods of time. All of these dynamics are known and included in predicted models. The ocean dynamics are rather compelling. Maybe our influence on them even more so... ?

Are you suggesting that the theory of evolution is wrong and the fittest forms of life won't evolve, but rather that all life can only survive in a static controlled environment. I might believe that some life forms would suffer and other propsper from changed conditions. By the way what was the highest atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration that has occurred since crustaceans have been in existence, and how did they survive through that?

Darwinism holds truth under natural selection. Our environment is nothing but static and in theory a steady state or dynamic equilibrium. I will investigate how many hundred millions of years since atmospheric concentrations where this high... though if Im not mistaken about 300 to 400 MYA and around the era of near planet extinction at the end of the dinosaur era... We were all created from single cell organisms. But why waist the world we love.

KT event occurred about 65 million years ago that was the end of the Dinosaurs. The P-Tr event occurred about 250 million years ago and was the event that lead to the rise of dinosaurs, and one of the largest events (this is the event where nearly everything died including a huge die off of the numer of calcium carbonate shelled or structured species). Ice ages began about 1 million years ago. Our environment is not steady state and static.

First I apologize for not reviewing more resources before replying earlier. CO2 may have been elevated well beyond the current concentrations over the past milloins of years. Although in recorded history and supported by ice core data over the past 400,000 years we have seen CO2 concentrations rather well correlated with paleoclimate reconstructions porimarily controlled by the milankovich cycles. "recyclic periods of chane of eccentricity, obliquity and precession."

With few exception up until the little ice age there was good correlation of climate and green house gas concentrations. Anthropogenic influences have removed CO2 as a climate tracer and possibly derailed us from a cooling trend. The theory of our environment acting under a steady state process suggested normal cyclic repetive changes. And whether or not we had been in a post-start up phase steady state environment or a dynamic equilibrium is up for debate. I by no means pretend to know the answer to our fate but the real question and fear is if there is a tipping point and if our fingerprint on mother earth is one that will evolve to a healthy future.

I know I'd feel a lot better, if I could live under a negligible carbon foot print where renewable resources supplied the modern needs and technology supported the growth needed to create such infrastructure. Gotta love the windmills towering over the small town I live in.

Where can I go to find raw data on the alleged acidification of the oceans?

This sounds like a very convenient substitute scare to replace the global warming fraud, now rapidly losing credit with the public.

Well ...youll survive the next 2 or 3 decades to see... The real experiments of Marketing ideas that have a real component(s) ...

More,i insist,if WE dont reduce drasticly our ProSome (ads to our instinctiv western patterns) well dye,absorbed in turbulent social wars ... fighting from "basic" things like water,air or sustainable soils ....and FISH not contaminated by radiation and/or biochemical in-primary reactions ...

The response,not adequated yet ...is to adapt "your" genetic code to accept "transgenic moisture"...

Thats possible ...but desirable ?

Ask your proprietary FenoTYPE ! ! ....

What is the pH of the various Oceans at now (I realize the pH various depending on proximity to river outflows, silt content, temperature, etc.). How far below neutral is it? considering that near neutral is ideal, and natural fresh and ground waters tend to be slightly above neutral in most places.

Also, what is a ProSome some ad for a potion or concoction? and what is a FenoType? I hope you are not playing the a biologist vocabulary for the word phenotype as some marketing scheme, or i guess even worse don't know how it is spelled (obviously spelling with an F instead of ph could not be a typo). Also, what does a phenotype have to do with genetic code, which would be represented as a genotype? Is this whole discourse some "environmental" marketing scam?

Not at all RCE ...

Marketing campaigns request today for LOYALTY ....CMO knows the importance from

Im going far beyond ...True ilusion in possible WORLDS! !

WHO knows about "Conscience afectation" ?"Concatenation" is retro-subliminal indoctrination ...GENES will follow naturally the way of true and deeper LOVE .

About genetics and other aggregates...YOU,implicit knwledge,what can tell ME
