34th Annual Larval Fish Conference
Who knew that larval fish scientists had their own conference. I assume the venue does not need to be especially big!
Anyhow, the story at the link is about research indicating that lower ocean water pH may not affect the growth of some reef fish, but it does appear to affect larval fish behaviour, quite possibly in a way that let more of them perish.
Ocean acidification - it's just one big gamble.
And by the way, Andrew Bolt deserves special criticism for posting a Youtube video from pro CO2 site CO2 Science showing how much better a cowpea plant does with CO2 at 1270 ppm compared to one at 470 ppm.
First, we aren't yet at 470 ppm, and it would take many, many decades to ever reach 1270 ppm.
But more importantly, when we start deciding that the planet should be ideally adjusted to suit plants rather than humans, then he may have a point.
