The latest bit of idiocy at WUWT is from someone who goes by the name of
James R. Barrante, Ph.D. A Google search shows that
for many years now, young James has been trying to convince whoever is silly enough to take any notice of him that it's the oceans that are causing atmospheric CO
2 to increase or something like that. He's a very mixed up chappie and
can't seem to keep his story straight. Today at WUWT he
wrote how burning hydrocarbons doesn't produce CO
2, or words to that effect:
...if the measurement of ocean pH were not so complicated, and we had that data for the last 150 years, I would bet that we could show exactly that the increase in atmospheric CO2 from 280 ppmv to 380 ppmv in the last 150 years is an ocean temperature effect and not at all related to burning fossil fuels.
