Forum Overview :: Mac Hall Complaints Department :: There are a lot of bad effects from global warming besides economic issues

[quote name="blackwater"]As the amount of co2 in the atmosphere goes up, the oceans will get more acidic. This is already causing problems for coral reefs, but it will start causing problems for anything with a calcium shell pretty soon. As the climate changes rapidly, a lot of species will be unable to keep up and will go extinct. If the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clathrate_gun_hypothesis">Clathrate gun hypothesis</a> is true, we could be in for a repeat of the Permian-Triassic extinction event. But hey. It's just the planet, not something IMPORTANT like which bathroom trannies use. I consider myself conservative, but this is a really dumb hill for Republicans to die on. As TDARCOS once said, use your head for something besides a hatrack.[/quote]
