Why Is Ocean Acidification Wrong
OCEAN ACIDIFICATION, NO RED HOAX
- 22 million tons of carbon is dumped into the ocean
- Making seawater more acidic
- Affecting plant life and marine life
- Doing horrors to our marine fishing community
Donald Trump, our very own cheeto president, is claiming all these horrors we are doing to our environment is not only true, but a hoax made by the Chinese. Not only is he an idiot for thinking this, but he is neglecting God’s green earth. For those of you who don’t know what Ocean Acidification is, let me tell you. The Ocean is like one big carbon sponge, holding huge amounts of the element CO2. When we release carbon from our fossil fuel running machines, it releases carbon into the atmosphere. Of course, what comes up must come down. So once
it rains, all those carbon molecules get trapped in the rain drops and fall to the earth, most landing in the ocean. This effect acidifies our ocean
You may be thinking what effect does this have on the environment, and I can tell you the effect are astounding. It breaks away at the ocean’s calcium carbonate leaves at an astounding rate. Leaving less material to make shells for coral, clams, and even small plankton. This in turn breaks down the ecosystem of all the plants and animals of from the trophic zone to the benthic zone.
This also affects us. We are so dependent on the marine and plant life that if it were to collapse, many people will be left without jobs and possibly homeless. With the collapse of the marine community, also does peoples food source. Think of all of the marineside villages and communities that need this blue planet to survive.
The proof is all here. Scientists have been taking pH tests all around the world, and they have been rising. The most at risk places are the Gulf of Mexico, where the nutrient rich waters and the carbon from the atmosphere are combining for one of the highest pH levels in the United States. Alaska, of all places, is also at risk. Where their
70,000 jobs in the fishing community are at risk.
There is a solution for this, and it's quite obvious. Use more eco friendly modes of transportation and machinery. Instead of coal and similar fossil fuels. This will not only reduce our collective “carbon footprint”, but it will also slow and, hopefully in the future, possible stop ocean acidification
