Amazingly enough the Associated Press is now spinning skewed data in the scandal-rocked climate debacle.

AP Writer (not to be confused with "journalist") John Heilprin today published an article claiming that CO2 is now responsible for over-acidifying the planet's Oceans and threatening the ecosytem of crustaceans and plant life, and decalcifying their shells, placing them at risk by possibly dissolving them prematurely.

The article begins by endearing the reader to the otters, seals and sealions with melodic prose, much like Global Warming sensationalists that point to their poster animal, the polar bear. And then hits readers with the pitch that the Copenhagen Summit on climate change now has another possible red herring to slap people into submission with.

The article goes on to quote researcher Andrew DeVogelaere, from the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Ca. as saying "we're having a change in water chemistry, so 20 years from now the system we're looking at could be affected dramatically but we're not really sure how. So we see a train wreck coming".

What stands out most is the fact that this researcher clearly admits he doesn't really know what he is talking about, but is certain it must be a "train wreck coming". Utterly irresponsible and negligent reporting to be sure, and of significant magnitude.

The climate change issue, presently reeling from a mountain of entirely refutable claims and pseudo-science, could certainly do without more sensationalism and fear mongering. This is not much more than self-aggrandizing data manipulation, and these claims should, in this author's eyes begin to garner attention from legal firms and law enforcement for what they really are; aggressively manipulative and  unfounded Attacks on a myriad of people's way of life.

These claims and suppositions, which have no empirical supporting data, run the risk of putting a whole host of business and residential concerns in great peril, with the full likelihood that in DeVogelaere's "20 years from now..." will have been destabilized or prohibited for no reason.

DeVogelaere actually has the nerve to claim that the briney deep is becoming too acidic for the corals, oysters, clams, mussels, crabs, lobsters (and quite possibly the mermaids...just a guess), simply because of the Ocean's natural cylcic activity as the world's largest carbon sink being inundated with "excessive amounts of CO2".

What is significant about this argument is that the alleged researcher mentions nothing about the massive ammounts of pollutants that drain into the bays every year. Or the many reports of failing sewage mains which leak raw and partially treated sewage into the Oceans. Or the fact that CO2 is a major building block for all life. Or the claims - however over-stated - that merely touching coral with the human hand can cause it to stop growing for years.

There is a myriad of relevant data to debunk this latest push to tax CO2, and there are reports surfacing that implicate various regional entities with outright complicity in collectively choosing CO2 as the best gas to demonize simply because it is the one emission which could net the most profit. Largely because there is no possible way to reduce it, and they full well realize this. Another article posted Dec 18, 2009 on this site begins to expose this information.

An in depth article will be added to this site as soon as this author can finish the research which was already underway...having expected the pseudo science community to use this as their next mendacious claim to fame.

Stay tuned, it will be a shocker...guaranteed.
