Acidification-gate?: NOAA accused of ‘pHraud’ by hiding data showing oceans have not ‘acidified’ over past century

Touchy Feely Science – one chart suggests there’s a ‘pHraud’ in omitting Ocean Acidification data in Congressional testimony

“…startling data omission that he told me: “eclipses even the so-called climategate event.”” Willis Eschenbach tips me to a story by Marita Noon, titled: What if Obama’s climate change policies are based on pHraud? I’ve reproduced portions of it here, with a link to the full article. The graph with ALL the data is compelling. “Ocean […]

Ocean acidification: ‘What if Obama’s climate change policies are based on pHraud?’

What if Obama’s climate change policies are based on pHraud?

Reblogged from Heartland’s Somewhat Reasonableby Marita NoonOcean acidification” (OA) is receiving growing attention. While someone who doesn’t follow climate change science might think OA is a stomach condition resulting from eating bad seafood, OA is claimed to be a phenomenon that will destroy ocean life—all due to mankind’s use of fossil fuels. It is a foundational theory upon which the global warming/climate change narrative is built.The science and engineering website Quest, recently posted: “Since the Industrial Revolution in the late 1700s, we have been mining and burning coal, oil and natural gas for energy and transportation. These processes release carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. It is well established that the rising level of CO2 in our atmosphere is a major cause of global warming. However, the increase in CO2 is also causing changes to the chemistry of the ocean. The ocean absorbs some of the excess atmospheric CO2, which causes what scientists call ocean acidification. And ocean acidification could have major impacts on marine life.”Within the Quest text is a link to a chart by Dr. Richard A. Feely, who is a senior scientist with the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL)—which is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Feely’s climate-crisis views are widely used to support the narrative.Feely’s four-page report: Carbon Dioxide and Our Ocean Legacy, offered on the NOAA website, contains a similar chart. This chart, titled “Historical & Projected pH & Dissolved Co2,” begins at 1850. Feely testified before Congress in 2010—using the same data that shows a decline in seawater pH (making it more acidic) that appears to coincide with increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide.In 2010, Feely received the $100,000 cash prize from the Heinz Family Foundation awards (established by Teresa Heinz, wife of Secretary of State John Kerry). The Heinz award site touts Feely’s work: “Ocean acidity is now considered global warming’s ‘evil twin,’ thanks in large measure to Dr. Feely’s seminal research on the changing ocean chemistry and its impact on marine ecosystems.”The December edition of the scientific journal Nature Climate Change features commentary titled: “Lessons learned from ocean acidification research.”However, an inquisitive graduate student presented me with a very different “lesson” on OA research.Mike Wallace is a hydrologist with nearly 30 years’ experience, who is now working on his Ph.D. in nanogeosciences at the University of New Mexico.

Alarmist Propaganda: Does “Warmest” Year Mantra Mean Climate Squat?

#tcot #agw #climate2014 As the mainstream press gets ready to unleash an untold number of the “warmest year ever” propaganda stories for year-end 2014, it begs the question…in the context of long-term climate change, does the “warmest” or “coldest” for…

Arctic sea ice extent continues its upward march into record territory for the past decade

Another Day Of Decadal High Arctic Sea Ice Extent

http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2014/12/23/another-day-of-decadal-high-arctic-sea-ice-extent

Arctic sea ice extent continues its march into record territory for the past decade. Ocean and Ice Services | Danmarks Meteorologiske Institut Four years since Mark “Death Spiral” Serreze predicted a record low in 2010, and I was a denier for disagreeing with him. As Arctic sea ice shrinks faster than 2007, NSIDC director Serreze […]
