About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here? Let's talk. The other half of the equation is blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science, please register and join others like you in an ongoing, vibrant dialog about what makes the world tick.

Thanks for the clarification, Anonymous.
I can understand how that would release CO2 into the atmosphere, but does it also acidify the surface water by a measurable amount? That seemed to be the argument that the other Anonymous poster made.
Also, isn't the problem with acidification more significant at deeper levels, where bleaching of reefs is one consequence? If anything, the slight (probably unmeasurable) warming of the deep ocean would make it less acid down there.
It is always interesting to discuss at the trade-offs in developing a new technology, and to do so in a non-ideological way. The tone of the commentary here is refreshing, in contrast to the acidified tone :) that ideologues like to inject.
