We are told that carbon dioxide and carbon mitigation is the solution to climate change, but this is not true. Reaching net zero would stop the rise in carbon dioxide, but acidified water would take centuries to recover.
On present trends, about 57% of the mapped winter ocean surface may fall below its aragonite threshold by 2045.
pH 7.85 is not the tipping point, we have already past the tipping point, pH7.95 is the end point, the point of no return.
Water vapour provides about half of the natural greenhouse effect, and it rises as carbon dioxide warms the air. We propose that the ocean surface microlayer (SML) may affect evaporation, but this remains a hypothesis that still needs testing, as discussed in our report below;
