"It's a beautiful but challenging place to work," said Robert Byrne, a USF marine chemist. Using new automated instruments, the scientists were able to make 34,000 water-chemistry measurements from the U.S. Coast Guard icebreaker. "<i>This unusually large data set, in combination with earlier studies</i>, not only documents remarkable changes in Arctic seawater chemistry but also <i>provides a much-needed baseline against which future measurements can be compared</i>."[/blockquote]<br /><br />You can't derive the rate or scale from a baseline. <br /><br />The oceans are alkaline. Profoundly alkaline. So alkaline, that even with all the rains being to varying degrees acidic feeding into the oceans, all of it is smothered by the alkalinity.<br />That's because alkalinity is caused by salt. Salt water.<br /><br />These oceanographers are saying in effect that after taking a pH test for the first time (establishing a baseline) that they beleive the Arctic ocean is going to run out of salt. <br /><br />They are the worst sort of scumbag and liar.
