When is news really propaganda?
Lesson One:

The week of February 15, a press release sounded the clarion call that our oceans were being acidified by carbon dioxide emissions. I did not hear the first part, but I assume it was the work of the Natural Resources Defense Council. Check out this statement from NRDC web site:

“Ocean acidification is the quiet tsunami of environmental degradation. Within a few decades, ocean acidification may devastate some marine ecosystems and threaten the productivity of our fisheries. When we burn oil, coal, or gas, scientists have recently shown, we are transforming the fundamental chemistry of the oceans, rapidly making the water more acidic.”
