What is the average Ocean pH now compared to 50 years ago? .... 100 years ago?

Question

The ocean pH impacts the ecology of Marine Life.

Deforestation in third world countrys is the principal cause of the

increase of carbon dioxide in the world atmosphere with the

attendant increase in Global Warming.



How has Deforestation impacted the average Ocean pH?

Answer 1

The average Ocean pH is slightly on the caustic side.

This enables the growth of coral reefs which are basically composed of Calcium Carbonate.

Coral reefs provide a haven for marine life which in turn provides food for not only for other marine life but also provides food for humans.

Deforestation by Third World countries contributes to the increase of atmospheric Carbon Dioxide which in turn makes the oceans more acidic.

This is far more that all the carbon dioxide produced by world industry.

This, unfortunately, is either not known or not admitted to, by the "Kumbaya" wing of the Democrats or the Major Media.

Answer 2

U don't have it right the PH of the ocean has never been 50. The scale is from acid to salt which is PH 7 to basic .
U missed it on deforestation also. I worked in Ecuador and we spent $1000,000 per month to keep the jungle from taking back the roads.
The Global warming wrong again. GO measure it there is almost no CO2 in our atmosphere,thanks to the Green plants. they take CO2 in and give us oxygen.
