[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2223406, member: 196898"] Since you seem to konw so much about the environmental science behind climate change then perhaps you can explain the role of Carbonic Acid in the sequestration of the carbon in the oceans. From what I gather from the recently published articles, Carbonic Acid is formed as H2O + CO2 => H2CO3 and it is this that is causing the acidification of the oceans on a large scale, and it is this that decomposes when the seas warm up to give CO2 and H2O again. Now I cannot go to Amazon to buy a bottle of Carbonic Acid. According to a NASA release they tried unsuccessfully to create Carbonic Acid on earth and could not find a catlayst that allowed CO2 and H2O to chemically combine, but did manage to create it on a space mission experiment, but it was short lived and unstable. So, is carbonic acid real or ficticious? Are our seas really becoming acidic from CO2 belched out of our exhausts, or is it from the acidic rain caused by sulphur dioxide making H2 SO4 (sulphuric acid) which we know exists and attacks our architecture daily and which can be bought in bottles and flasks. Or is it from HCL, that well known stomach acid that also gets flushed into our oceans. Or other acids from industrial processes such as electroplating etc. If sequestration of CO2 by creating Carbonic acid was a reality, then surely we could use this 'technology' to capture flue outlet gases in power stations. No, we cannot it seems, and we do not even use limewater to do it even though that is a proven method of sequestration that also occurs naturally in the oceans. Our kettles and boilers prove that this happens in reverse, and cement gives a concrete example of sequestration in practice, which is another major source of CO2 in our atmosphere. So should we not be building in wood and bamboo instead of concrete to save the planet and save the animals too. Straw houses are not such a daft idea perhaps? I am concerned that we are now teaching this science to our children and I am not convinced it is correct. [/QUOTE]
