Boom… fish farms debunk ‘ocean acidification’ alarm
” In contrast, the aquaculture industry was farming aquatic animals at CO2 levels that far exceed end-of-century climate change projections (sometimes >10 000 μatm) long before the term ‘ocean acidification’ was coined, with limited detrimental effects reported.”

Oops… West Antarctic ice sheet melting as far back as 1940s
Pine Island Glacier is nearly two-thirds the size of the UK or the size of Texas. So what’s the cause since CO2 was only around 310 ppm in the 1940s?
