I agree that the decline in alkalinity of the ocean's water is of greater concern. Among climate scientists, yes there are some that are convinced there is an imminent threat (think Michael Mann). On the other hand, most people who are convinced there's an imminent threat are NOT climate scientists (think Al Gore or Tim Flannery). And there are plenty of climate scientists who do not think that it's the grave threat that it's made out to be by the IPCC.
Tim Flannery's company Geodynamics Limited got grants from the Australian government totalling $90 million to develop geothermal energy - which they never did:

You can view the clip from Robo2 here:
Despite the fact that they said to federal Australian government in 2002 that it would be a relatively straightforward process to do.
As I mentioned in the other thread, in 1,000 years from now if all the glacial ice has melted yes sea levels will rise I think it's 20 feet or something like that. BUT, the world will be much greener, there'll be less desert, and overall we will have more fertile, healthy land. So there will be negative effects of climate change, but there will also be hugely positive effects also.
Anyway, yes vorlon13 I think we do need to think about the health of the oceans as a primary concern for the Environment.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK
"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
