For PmC. The increased acidity is  affecting hard shelled creatures..  Nev

I'm sure we both mean the same thing. pH ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. pHs less than 7 are acidic while pHs greater than 7 are alkaline (basic). So seawater is basic and could never, given the chemistry of eroding rocks and existing reefs, become acidic. You say it is becoming acidic - the data may suggest it could become less alkaline, I don't know.

The change is not much (.1% but the  sea has absorbed a lot of carbon dioxide  up to this point and there's a lot of sea Yes there's plenty of calcium carbonate around. Look what acidity has done to the Marble in Venice. Some of that is due to Industrial pollution  from the NW. That change (top line) is enough to affect the  survivability of Plankton and lobsters crabs  coral etc.   Nev

An elderly lady calls her doctor.

 

"Is it true that I have to take these pills you prescribed for the rest of my life?"

 

"I'm afraid so." said the doctor.

 

"Well how serious is this condition, because the prescription says 'No repeats'?"

Ted and his wife were working in their garden one day when Ted looks over at his wife and says: “Your butt is getting really big, I mean really big! I bet your butt is bigger than the barbecue.”
With that, he proceeded to get a measuring tape and measure the grill and then went over to where his wife was working and measured his wife’s bottom.
“Yes, I was right, your butt is two inches wider than the barbecue!!!!”
The wife chooses to ignore her husband. Later that night in bed, Ted is feeling a little frisky. He makes some advances towards his wife who completely brushes him off.
“What’s wrong?” he asks.
She answers, “Do you really think I’m going to fire up this big-ass grill for one little weenie?

Little kid can't sleep one night and goes to his parent's bedroom.

Opening the door, he's confronted by the sight of his parents in the missionary position, going for it.

His dad looks up and says "It's ok Jimmy, this is how Daddy and Mummy make babies.  Would you like a little brother or a little sister?"

Jimmy yells "Neither! Flip her over, Dad, I'd rather have a puppy!!"
