Coral cover is breaking records, real world data proves ocean life loves CO2, but none of this impedes a never ending drip feed of ocean acidification scares.
‘Ticking time bomb’: Ocean acidity crosses vital threshold, study finds

The deep oceans have crossed a crucial boundary that threatens their ability to provide the surface with food and oxygen, a new study finds.
Nearly two-thirds of the ocean below 200 meters, or 656 feet, as well as nearly half of that above, have breached “safe” levels of acidity, according to findings published on Monday in Global Change Biology.
The fall in ocean pH is “a ticking time bomb for marine ecosystems and coastal economies,” Steve Widdicombe, director of science at the United Kingdom’s Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML), said in a statement.
