I am trying to 'connect the dots' with the CO2 and ocean acidification with people, with the public and also with speaking to different professors and researchers to find out if my concern is real. I find that the scientific community have a very narrow focus and any venturing out they simply go silent and won't speculate even in another' field of expertise. The public tends to be overwhelmed.

My concern is this: With the effects we are seeing on the foodweb in the oceans (i.e. plankton dying off, Pacific NW oysters seeds are unable to develop with human intervention) and knowing that this is a result of carbonic acid produced 30 to 50 years ago, when the atmosphere was 300PPB CO2 - Have we stored in the oceans carbonic acid that going to continue to keep rising even if we stop all emissions enough to cook our proverbial goose?

Thanks so much. I also wanted say that you being here is a really good thing....again thanks.

I hope to see you at the 9-21 event in NYC.
