What is happening in these terms is that the acidification of oceans, soil, and water changes the freezing points of all of them... and thus their ability to "buffer" the weather.

In addition, the destruction, and/or the covering over of soil microorganisms and life (nematodes, worms, and insects) eliminates another temperature buffering system, not to mention that this dramatically reduces the ability of these organisms to cycle gases and minerals... which is essential for life.

One of the issues many ecologists are most concerned with is the saturation point... call it a tipping point if you will.

The oceans are absorbing 10% less carbon than they were just a few years ago... and the rate is accelerating while our dumping increases... not good.

To ignore man made climate change is foolish, however, to call it man made warming or cooling is also. It is more in line with that we are killing off the microbial and insect life that cycles inorganic material to organic enabling life, and consuming/polluting the resources that enable the planet to buffer the acids we are dumping on it... it will only buffer so much.

The saving grace is that while we may in large part destroy this earth and ourselves... the planet will recover... once the acids are broken down and recycled into the whole once again.

it has all happened before...
