Too much CO2 in the atmosphere is acidifying our oceans.
To solve, it, we must DROP THE BASE!
Dun! Dun! EEEERRG! Boop Boop! Dun dun duh!
Human Urine is usually neutral, but when we ingest more
veggies & citrus, it becomes basic. (Google it if you doubt;
citations are so "pre-google"
people.)
So, if we decrease meat consumption, & increase vegetarian
consumption, & increase population, send the effluent to the
sea, we may therefore counteract the acidification from fossil
fuel's creation of CO2.
Then, the plankton & base of the ocean food chain can
continue to build shells & skeletons.
For human survival, we must all eat more veggies & pee in
the sea.

I think this qualifies for a "let's all". But not sure. I just
didn't want it to be ignored altogether. So here, here
is a neutral vote. You probably can't see it, but just
know it's there. Peace! |

Not really a "let's all" but more of an "unproven
global chemistry puzzle solution". Like all
geoengineering, it's risky. Thanks for the neutral
vote. |

I'm told that human urine also contains enough adrenaline to attract sharks from several kilometres away. I don't know whether this is true. Anyway, maybe you just need *them* to get with the veggies and citrus program. |
|

Pertinax: If that were true, then you'd expect to see
sharks congregating at sewage outlets near shores,
which I don't think you do. |
|
| |
If sharks were indeed attracted to human urine, then
they would stop that attraction within 3 generations
of natural selection, as we don't make very good
prey, esp. if most of our urine gets to the ocean
through pipes, not through surfers. |

//sharks congregating at sewage outlets near
shores// I think adrenaline would break down long
before it gets to the outlet. |

Don't piss in my ear and tell me it's raining. |

Yes, and prescription psychiatric medication
excreted by humans is causing an increase in dolphin
psychosis. Google it. |
|
| |
Here's another idea to justify the title: "Drop the
base" by building geothermally-powered water
cannons that continuously blast water into the upper
atmosphere, lowering ocean levels to counteract the
effects of climate change. |

Interesting, I know that marking your territory in the bush only deters predators if you're a meat eater. I wonder if sharks would be drawn to the urine of vegetarians more than carnivores. |
|
| |
As for the idea; wouldn't it just be a drop in the bucket? Do you really think we produce enough urine to change the ph levels of the oceans? |

+ for thinking about the oceans |

This science may not be bad but it's certainly of
questionable virtue and easy morals. |
