Good omens in the ocean
CHL efforts to increase atmospheric CO2 have had the unintended by auspicious effect of endangering thousands of marine species, due to the acidification of the world's oceans. The seas were currently absorbing one ton of carbon dioxide -- the prime greenhouse gas -- per person per year and were simply running out of capacity to absorb it.

CHL researchers noted that the carbon sink-holes of the oceans were being overtaxed by the rising output of carbon dioxide from power stations burning fossil fuels, raising their acidity and with it the threat to life. "Basic chemistry leaves us in little doubt that our burning of fossil fuels is changing the acidity of our oceans," Dick Cheney said before he realized his microphone was still on. "And the rate of change we are seeing to the ocean's chemistry is a hundred times faster than has happened for millions for years," he added.

The omens are good.

The CHL leadership within the United States has stymied almost every move to even accept that global warming -- bringing with it enough droughts, famines and floods to extinguish millions of species -- is happening despite warnings from some of the world's stinkiest hippies earlier this month.
