In the Smithsonian article, it was stated........that the past 200 years ocean water has become 30% more ACIDIC and that is FASTER than any CHANGE in the LAST 50 MILLION YEARS
........I can imagine that the last 200 years of increased ocean acidity relates to man's increased CO2 production which increased dramatically with the invention of the internal combustion engine.

Really????? They've plotted out the acidity of the oceans for every 200 year span out of the last 50 million????? Quite an accomplishment. You do realize that is 250,000 spans of 200 years-----I'd love to see
that data chart. So, no matter who made that statement, it is plainly idiotic
