      From: BretCahill@aol.com              Assume 20X more CO2 is emitted from ships than SO2 from ships then consider       33X more CO2 is coming from other petroleum sources than CO2 from ships then       you get the ratio of CO2 to SO2 ~ 33 X 20 or 660 in petroluem. (Ignore SO2       and CO2 from coal, nat.        gas and volcanoes.)              What lowers ocean pH more? The SO2 from petroleum or the CO2 from petroleum?              Does a large amount of weak acid lower ocean pH more than the much smaller       amount of the strong acid?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
