Be f***ed now, or be f***ed later. If you factor in the external cost coal is pretty expensive. But, those cost will have to be paid by someone else. That's good business. http://www.sourcewatch.org/ind...
This is a model based study, for some species of coral, with certain caveats with regards to sea temperature. I'd be very careful to use this study to dismiss broadly the effect of acidification and sea temperature change on coral. It is interesting, of course, and not surprising that some species can adapt, but this study tell us little about the effects of acidification in the large. Thanks for the link.
So it's all a conspiracy? Alright, I'll weigh the arguments from a peer reviewed paper in a well regarded journal a little more than some random commenter on Slashdot. No offense.
What is false? That acidification impairs the calcification in crustaceans? This is pretty basic chemistry. What would there be in the river sediments to compensate?
Well, there are certainly credible scientists that assert that it does happen at several sites around the world. This might not cover every single coral reef in the world, but it I'd say the phenomenon is well documented and has had a massively detrimental and well-documented impact already. http://science.sciencemag.org/...
The article states that the equipment is not for finding cancer (polyps) in the colon, but for finding cancer in the esophagus.
I worked as an intern one summer for a company developing a new type robotic colonoscope. As far as I understood, any known technical solutions for inspecting the colon still requires something to actively inserted into your rear end. It's very painful because the colon will need to stretch in order to proved the necessary reaction force for the colonoscope to bend. You can apparently do just about anything with the colon without feeling pain, except stretching it.
In the student society, in the town where I study, they have put up sound level indicators in all the rooms and halls where music is played. Looks like an ear, with green, yellow and red lights, so you'll know when the sound level is so hight that you might damage your hearing. Nice to know when its time to use your earplugs...
So the plan is actually to stick this stuff in barrels and bury it? Here in Norway there has been a lot of talk about CO2 capturing technologies, especially a process using amines to bind the carbon. This is because we are running out of waterfalls to pipe into turbines, and some people want to build gas turbines to cover the energy deficit. The drawback is of course the CO2 emissions, and there are plans to capture this and use it as pressure support so as to extract more oil and natural gas from the oil fields in the North Sea.
They way they want to do this is to pump it back into the aquifers (permeable rock) that the oil resides in. I imagine that the sites in Ohio, Oklahoma and Michigan have some sort of aquifers as well.

One of the very first programming languages I ever used when I was in primary school was HyperTalk. I later learned C, but I make money using LabView!
