You mean back when living to 29 was considered an "advanced age"? :-)


It seems to be that real lifespan has not changed much over the years.
Average has gone up, as lots of childhood diseases have been arrested. As
well as accidents do not kill as many. Due to antibiotics. And to have
the
ocean turn more acidic, I think there would have to a lot of samples taken
over a huge area. Just the shear quantity of water could absorb a lot of
CO2 before a noticible pH change could be recorded.


What's really causing all these hurricanes and acid increases is the
hot air about global warming and all the politicians peeing on each
other's shoes.


I would not mind the pols peeing on each other, it is us mortals that are
getting splashed a lot.
