Say goodbye to oysters. Soon they will be gone forever. |
RIP oysters User ID: 31459551 United States 01/03/2013 10:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Say goodbye to oysters. Soon they will be gone forever. It turned out that "corrosive" seawater, which makes it harder for young oysters to build shells, was largely to blame. Like the atmosphere, the world's seas are burdened by our fossil fuel use and deforestation. The ocean has sponged up a quarter of the carbon dioxide humans have produced since the Industrial Revolution, steadily lowering its pH. Today's seas are 30 percent more acidic than their pre-industrial ancestors. By the turn of the century, scientists anticipate they will be 150 percent more so -- a trend that led National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) chief Jane Lubchenco to call ocean acidification climate change's "equally evil twin."

...Although, ironically to those of us who are alergic to zinc, their disappearance will be hardly a tearful event. |

Sounds like as good as reason as any to enact a global carbon tax so we can ship money to Chinese factory owners to pollute more. |
