Sigourney Weaver: Taking Acid Test, Our New Documentary, To Capitol Hill
Ocean acidity has increased an average of 30 percent since the industrial revolution. If we continue to dump carbon dioxide into our seas, ocean acidification could result in a "global osteoporosis," harming not only commercially important shellfish, such as lobster, crabs, and mussels, but also key species in marine food webs such as corals and plankton. That could send shock-waves up the food chain, threatening fish, birds, and mammals.

All these concerns are part of the energy policies of a country that is self-sufficient in oil and has just found major reserves that will put us in the forefront of fossil fuel production.
Dalton Minimum Returns: Relationship between Solar Cycle Length and Global Temperature Anomalies
In conclusion, the upcoming decade will provide key data for research into both solar impacts on global climate and human‐induced global warming. Since CO2 levels have been rising during a time of increasing solar activity, untangling the impacts of each on the global climate system is difficult. But, with rising CO2 levels and decreasing solar activity during the upcoming decade, the impacts of both should become more evident.
The Migrant Mind: 105 years of Average Daily Temperature Differences
I also would contend that the fact that for 105 years Montevideo has been hotter for 26 out of 28 days on average for February, clearly says that the data is attrocious. Such biases should not exist for towns only 16 miles apart. Whatever we are measuring, it isn't global temperature.
