It is not essential, if this ratio is implicitly included in the solubility coefficient in a fashion analogous to the implicit incorporation of activity coefficients in the β€œequilibrium quotients” used to describe homogeneous chemical equilibria in seawater media.

The affectation of using fugacity, rather than partial pressure, arose because the ratio between the two (the fugacity coefficient) is different for pure CO2 gas and for CO2 in air and the desire was to use a gas solubility determined using pure CO2 to interpret air-sea gas exchange. (1/2)

And my initiation to such a beverage goes back to my student days in the mid-1970s; the bottle (once empty) being repurposed as a candlestick!

What is the Keeling Curve? β€” The Keeling Curve Foundation | A Legacy of Long-Term Scientific Observations The Keeling Curve is the iconic record of global atmospheric carbon dioxide (COβ‚‚) measurements over time. Spanning from 1958 to the present day, it is the longest continuous record of atmospheric COβ‚‚ ...

It continues:

Addressing climate change requires a collective effort and presents both challenges and opportunities for a sustainable future.

This last sentence may suggest a rationale for your suggestion.

Google’s AI is more optimistic than you:

In summary, there is growing support for climate action globally, driven by widespread public concern, ambitious government policies, the efforts of numerous organizations, and compelling scientific evidence. . . .

I guess we’re both over sensitive? Real English accents are likely easier to find in Hollywood, I guess. 🀣🀣🀣

As a child I recall making that trip. Our airliner from Kuala Lumpur was a bit short of fuel, and rather than circle aimlessly, we landed at Gatwick for a while, and then flew on to Heathrow when our slot was available.

I suspect that scientists feel most comfortable with the approach that matches their expertise - rather than alternate weighting of putative benefits. So β€œholding on” will last for a while. 🀣🀣🀣

My own comfort with alkalinity is likely no exception. πŸ™‚

It’s ever been like that. Even the Magna Carta was annulled as both sides (king and barons) largely ignored it.

It starts to get messier. My father was born in Kenya, as was I. Thus my passport indicating β€œhigh end” UK citizenship (β€œHolder has right of abode in the United Kingdom.”) needed paperwork back to my grandparents on my father’s side. (At that time mothers were irrelevant. 🀣)

I’ve been a pedestrian; jumping also is a useful movement, on occasion.
