An interesting read!

I would like to hear the forums comments on this. Is it true, as in likely, or just scaring tactics? I understand natural sources (ie volcanic action and others) of CO2 makes human activity seems trivial?

 

YES, somebody else that shares the same sentiments I do.

 

I must be honest I also have my doubts about this whole global warming etc as I too have seen pretty convincing stats that show natural CO2 is way more then anything humans are creating. Just thought it was interesting to get a convo going on the topic seeing as alot of us use CO2 in our tanks in some way or form.

 

I totally agree with you, interesting subject by the way, but I think injecting 2KG of CO2 into a 100L fishtank over a 30 day period is quite a lot. If you worked that out in liters of seawater surrounding our coast, it would be insane numbers of CO2 needed to enter the water.

Interestingly though, Freshwater and Marine reacts quite differently to CO2 from what I understand especially in a coral environment, but the Marine experts are gonna have to help us out here.
