Glo-Bull Warming and Science

[SparrowHawk]

No idea what that has to do with crapping where you sleep but what ever.

Then pay attention to what you write. You profess to be the all knowing Atheist and can at a drop of a hat debunk scripture. Christianity is a lot like Baskin & Robins in that it has lots of flavors.

You said

I can understand that POV coming from an atheist like my self. I would think that someone who believes they were given this life by a god who will judge them after they die would be a bit more concerned about how they treated their home.

So if you had half a brain you'd know that a Free Will Baptist would likely have a view closer to mine then say an Episcopal Priest. Different viewpoints on a Christians role in the world and the common good of mankind. Since on other threads you hold yourself up as an expert on all things religious you should know this simple difference. You quote shows you know nothing.

Never seen anything from any religion that said god was ok with us destroying our plant. You obviously know better. Nice rant though.

Plankton blooms in the northern oceans have declined. Research shows that the the blooms are an indicator for oxygen an nutrients in the oceans. It is all linked together. I think we as a species are in trouble. We are destroying our home. That does not make any sense to me.

According to researchers with the Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science, a species of plankton called Neodenticula seminae is an Atlantic resident again, 800,000 years after it became extinct in the ocean. And whereas last year's gray whale was a one-off occurrence, the microscopic plant has been documented with sufficient frequency over the last several years to determine that the species has indeed returned. As with the lost whale, the plankton's arrival has been facilitated, the researchers say, by melting polar ice providing an easier passage for transport from one ocean basin to the other.

Overall, says Carlo Heip, Director General of the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research, studies show that the impacts of climate change on marine life composition in the Atlantic are likely to be mixed - some species could, in fact, thrive and parts of the ocean gain in biodiversity and productivity.

"But most of the impacts are so clearly negative, and the scope of change so potentially huge that, taken together, they constitute brightly flashing warning signals," he says.

Constant climate change......on a continual evolving planet that man hasn't quite come to understand.


Duh.......

The chart goes back 600,000 years.

Not sure where you are going with the polar bear tangent???

NASA is in the business of junk science now?

Living in the Houston area, I know many NASA employees. Progressive/liberal they are not.

Would you like a slice of the moon for your ham sandwich?

You place much weight in a government entity subject to political pressure to come up with the right anwers at the right time. Aren't they the same group that forgot how to convert numbers and missed their target and cost you and me 125 million?

I believe with a little research, many NASA booboo's can be found.

Last week, conservative blogs were positively atwitter with news that a climate change skeptic caught an error in NASA’s weather data. To make it even more juicy, no less august a figure than NASA’s own James Hansen, the godfather of global warming science, was implicated in the foul-up.

Doesn't this guy now advise Rocky Bama?

 

[Ms Tree]

And you did fall in love with the hockey stick graph......

You have yet to post any proof of your accusation. I glanced through the thread and did not see anything. Perhaps I missed it?


From you post:

"But most of the impacts are so clearly negative, and the scope of change so potentially huge that, taken together, they constitute brightly flashing warning signals," he says.

A few more examples from your link:

Jellyfish are increasing in the northeast Atlantic, often forming massive blooms. A venomous warm-water species, Pelagia noctiluca, dominates in many areas and outbreaks have become an annual event, forcing the closing of beaches. This form of jellyfish is a gluttonous predator of juvenile fish, so researchers consider its spread a harmful trend. Recently, the highly venomous Portuguese Man-of-War (Physalia physalis), a jellyfish-like subtropical creature, were found more regularly in northern Atlantic waters.

Off Northwest Europe, the warming trend has led to earlier spawning of cod, while phytoplankton have kept their traditional biological schedule. The result is a timing mismatch between the cod's larval production and its food supply.

Warmer temperatures and stratification of the water are allowing living and dead microscopic organic matter to form massive, mucous-like blobs in the Mediterranean Sea. This noxious material harbors bacteria and viruses that could kill fish.

In the North Sea, several fish species, including sea bass, mullet, solenette and scaldfish, are moving northward and increasing in numbers as the water warm.

2010 study

The microscopic plants that form the foundation of the ocean's food web are declining, reports a study published July 29 in Nature.

The tiny organisms, known as phytoplankton, also gobble up carbon dioxide to produce half the world's oxygen output—equaling that of trees and plants on land.

But their numbers have dwindled since the dawn of the 20th century, with unknown consequences for ocean ecosystems and the planet's carbon cycle.

Researchers at Canada's Dalhousie University say the global population of phytoplankton has fallen about 40 percent since 1950. That translates to an annual drop of about 1 percent of the average plankton population between 1899 and 2008.

The scientists believe that rising sea surface temperatures are to blame.

You know, you're probably right.....I think it was some other cat......ahh some cat named Garfield.....my appologies.

Fish seeking cooler waters holding more abundent food sources is nothing new. Whales do it all the time. The jelly fish and all are just having their climes expanded somewhat.

they constitute brightly flashing warning signals," he says.

These are the conditions prededing an ice age BTW.

Dudes probably right....

The Med?? You ask me the Med is nothing more than a sewer.

And being the search king that you are I am sure you have a link for that right?

The question is not that they are doing it the question is why and is a purely natural event? Indications are that it is not a natural occurrence.

Yet another ridiculous claim based on Global Warming: Circumcision on Decline in Africa Due to Global Warming :wacko:

That evening I learnt of a most remarkable consequence of the drought. The Samburu circumcise their youths in grand ceremonies, which are held every seven years or so, when enough cattle and other foods have accumulated to support such celebrations. Circumcision represents a transition to manhood, and until a youth has passed it he can't marry. But it's been 14 years since a circumcision ceremony has been held here. There are now 40,000 uncircumcised young men, some in their late 20s, waiting their turn. All of the eligible young women, tired of waiting, have married older men (multiple wives are allowed), so there are no wives for the new initiates.

I could never have imagined that climate change would have such an effect on an entire society.

Huge Blow To The Cult of Climate Change

CERN's 8,000 scientists may not be able to find the hypothetical Higgs boson, but they have made an important contribution to climate physics, prompting climate models to be revised.

....

When Dr Kirkby first described the theory in 1998, he suggested cosmic rays "will probably be able to account for somewhere between a half and the whole of the increase in the Earth's temperature that we have seen in the last century."

Shorter: In other words, “It’s the sun, stupid.”

The Krakatoa eruption lowered global temperatures by < 2.0 F. By comparison, warming trend from 1850-2011 raised temperatures only 0.7 F.

 

[delldude]

Good point 7Days.....I always thought the planet pops off 2 or 3 decent volcanoes and lets talk about GW.....

 

[tech2101]

The Krakatoa eruption lowered global temperatures by < 2.0 F. By comparison, warming trend from 1850-2011 raised temperatures only 0.7 F.

Did the Krakatoa eruption drop global temperatures for 161 years? No it has not. It did have the effect of inhibiting some warming.

Great scholarly paper on this here.

 

[signals]

Because its supporters agree with you.

Well go talk to its supporters. I can think for myself, thank-you very much. If you assume that we should discuss creatinism then discuss it with its supporters. I view global warming as a phenomenom not as a man-made disaster, yet you continue to assume that I am the cause of a creationism topic because I don't believe in an alien attack any time soon.

Keep putting that special spin on it, Dog, and assume what you will

Signals vs Stephen Hawking ---------- Chimpanzee vs Einstine

My link

Yes, I'll be the chimp and you can be a baboon's @$$! I think Stephen Hawking is nothing but a Cardiff Giant, a paraplegic robot. If we were in his condition we would be brain dead, but a great mind continues to live and tell us that aliens exist.

Tell you what, leprechaun, you show me an extraterrestrial, and I'll give you a million dollars. Otherwise keep peeing in the wind! Yes, the great Hawking says that aliens exist and he is surely making a monkey out of me 😛
