Recent Antarctic Warming: Unusual or Run-of-the-Millennial-Mill?: Inquiring minds should want to know.

Subject Index Summary
Ocean Acidification of Corals (Field Studies): It has been predicted that rates of coral calcification, as well as the photosynthetic rates of their symbiotic algae, will dramatically decline in response to what is typically referred to as an acidification of the world's oceans, as the atmosphere's CO2 concentration continues to rise in the years, decades, and centuries to come. As ever more pertinent evidence accumulates, however, the true story appears to be just the opposite. This summary examines such evidence obtained from field-based studies conducted in the natural ocean.
