Yet still this junk-science scare story refuses to lie down and die because there are so many vested interests determined to prop it up. Here is the latest egregious example. Published at The Marine Biologist (“the magazine of the marine biological community”) it purports to be a damning refutation of one of my many articles calling out the Ocean Acidification lie.
