The ICES Journal of Marine Science special edition on ocean acidification (https://icesjms.oxfordjournals.org/content/current) generated a series of press coverage and opinion pieces last week. Below are links to two of them, as well as responses from several scientists active in ocean acidification research.
Media articles
- “Scientists are exaggerating carbon threat to marine life”, The Times
- “Science is turning back to the dark ages”, The Times – Columnists
- “Global warming scientists have EXAGGERATED CO2 threat to marine life, study finds”, The Daily Express (see also the comment from Dr. Phil Williamson from the University of East Anglia, posted under the user name “PhilWill”)
Reactions from scientists
- climatefeedback.org analyzed Ben Webster’s article “Scientists are exaggerating carbon threat to marine life” published in The Times and estimated its overall scientific credibility to be ‘very low’: http://climatefeedback.org/evaluation/scientists-are-exaggerating-carbon-threat-to-reefs-and-marine-life/
