From unpublished research.
The ocean has reached tipping point.
Land erosion is caused by the sea wearing away coastlines + the acidic ph level of salt water. The two combine creating the coastlines we are already worried about. The coastlines are disappearing the sea is rising; the beaches are being swept away, on a global scale.

Just one section of a limestone coast being dissolved or eaten away by acidic oceans.
However, beachfront property still gets good money on a market only concerned about interest rate rises not sea level changes. . Ocean acidification does more than weaken the foundations of homes or thin the shell fish markets and interrupt the food chain.
Areas once inhabited in Pakistan have already been abandoned, because freshwater aquifers are becoming too saline.
locally in Australia, Perth must find alternate water its aquifers are salty and in coastal South Australia the aquifer is too saline for irrigation. Victoria’s coast is affected while the Great Barrier Reef is breaking up and being bleached.
However Australians still flush their toilets with drinking water and will not drink recycled sewage water unless it comes from the Murray River, so who's worried?
The oceans are becoming more and more turbulent as severe weather becomes more frequent, this action causes more chlorides to be formed in the surf and as a knock on effect the Ozone hole is getting bigger.
However, as Chinese white goods and cheap asian air-con systems still use ozone depleting gas without gas recovery being forced in Asia AUSTRALIA OR America, who give a shit about cancer causing UV rays anyway?
Ocean acidification, is, as we speak, dissolving lime stone coast lines here and anywhere else globally that limestone, coral or the fossilised calcium remains of geosequestered aquatic life is exposed to acidic oceans.
These natural outcrops of sequestered carbon dioxide contain more co2 than your average industrial nation can emit while burning the spoils of any future Middle Eastern Conflict.
But who really gives a crap? Let’s be real. The right wing Christians war mongers have a second coming in their heads who will solve all problems, yeagh no shit!! He’s on his way, alleluyah!! Bush be praised.
Gesus #2 will convert the Jews and rid the world of terrorist while cooling the planet with one push of alien superman breath, in time to watch big brother humiliate another bunch of social misfits who inspire our youth to sit around the house and care about nothing.
Thankyou for your time.
