Pacific Oceans elevated acidity is dissolving Dungeness crabs shells

AGreenLiving

NOAA has reported that the ocean absorbs about one-third of the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere via fossil fuel misuse and land-associated carbon emissions (ranching, logging, forest fires, etc.). More here: Pacific Oceans elevated acidity is dissolving Dungeness crabs shells.

Using Trees To Build A Better World

R-Squared Energy

Our oceans are absorbing more and more carbon to the point they are reaching saturation. This is a process called ocean acidification that is starting to tip to a point where life in our oceans must adapt or die out. If a tree is logged then the purpose of logging could create two very different outcomes.

Another Day, Another Nonsensical Oceanic Carbon Capture Non-Solution, This Time Italian

CleanTechnica

Regular readers might think Californians have a lock on poorly thought-through ideas for ‘enhancing’ oceanic carbon uptake, but apparently Italy decided to throw a log on this fire. A startup is promoting the idea of digging up long-sequestered carbon dioxide in the form of limestone to make quicklime to make.
