ARTICLE REVIEWS
Analysis of “Ocean acidification: yet another wobbly pillar of climate alarmism”
in The Spectator, by James Delingpole
The scientists who have analyzed the article show that it contains significant inaccuracies, notably for its core assumptions, and misrepresents scientific studies and scientists it cites to make its point. Reviewers also note that the article knocks down strawman arguments that do not represent the state of scientific knowledge (scientists do not claim the ocean will become a “giant acid bath”).
