The Week That Was:  2020-09-05 (September 5, 2020)

Quote of the Week:

“A few days ago, a Master of Arts, who is still a young man, and therefore the recipient of a modern education, stated to me that until he had reached the age of twenty he had never been taught anything whatever regarding natural phenomena, or natural law.”
                                      – John Tyndall (1854)
Ocean pH:

Writers for the US National Academy of Sciences continue to insist that a slight lowering of the pH of an alkaline solution (the general oceans) reducing its corrosive capability by making it more neutral is acidifying it, increasing the corrosive capability.

This is logical nonsense. 

Now, they have imagined a new disease for coral reefs: Coral Osteoporosis. 

In humans, osteoporosis is a bone disease that occurs when the body loses too much bone. Now the Coral Reefs are losing too much Coral – by what standards?
