    It's all alarmist crap. The ocean always moves towards equilibrium.

    Some post back aways, I think it was Bostons (can't see his posts) suggested that greenhouse effect caused past extinctions.

    http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/extinction/dinosaurs/asteroid.html

    Typical of cart before the horse logic employed by global warming alarmists.

    I'm somewhat surprised they aren't claiming greenhouse gases will cause a retroactive giant meteor impact and one morning we will wake up and discover we were actually extinct for the last 100 years because of it!
    :D

    Doing good, my friend. I'm just heading out to the boat show today at the Florida State Fairgrounds on U.S. 301 east of Tampa. I'll post pictures if I find anything interesting.
    If they have anything relevant to this thread I photograph it.

    oceans moving towards equilibrium ?????????????
    where in all that or Rays post did you see a trend towards equilibrium. Maybe you meant that the oceans are racing as fast as they can to catch up with the changes in the atmospheric chemistry, and in the process, are changing a rates not seen in millions of years. Is it an effort to equalize with the altered atmosphere, sure it is, does it represent any form of stability in the climate system, hell no. What it means is that change is occurring so fast that it precluded the evolutionary process. Which in every case in the past resulted in mas extinction. Thats not alarmist, thems just the facts.

    Good news, I read that the melting of the poles are slower than anticipated and on some spot the ice gained ground.

    If the fish are lethargic they dont flap and flip hard enough along with the gentle movements of jelly fish. All these movements mix warm sea water with cold but its not working very well where fish are scarce.

    Fish with vertical fins flip and fish with horizontal fins are referred to as flapping.

    Also storms smashing waves on rocks cause ariation necessary for marine life however too much oxygen can cause the marine life to be over oxygenated.

    might want to head back to the pub Frosty, I think you might still have room enough for another beer, apparently you can still type.

    I knew it would have that reaction, saw it on a documentary last week. I felt the same way about it.

    Point being your discussing a massive complicated engine and yet are not considering or even know about some of it.

    How many BTU-s in a gallon of oil? then consider every gallon of oil per day burnt in the atmosphere, be it ships engines or a 747 power stations or a bullion cars,-- all thats trillions of BTUs per day.

    That was'nt there 50 years ago.

    So the answer to the thread is yes of course man is making an impact on climate.

    "Today, the court effectively held that state agencies do not have to provide state-owned property to state investigators looking into potential fraud involving government funds."

    A private individual or a company is not protected from scrutiny, but a government department like a state university is immune to investigation? Seems totally upside down to me!

    The Virginia supreme court came down on the university's side, saying Cuccinelli's bid had no legal standing because the university was neither a "person" nor a "corporation" under the act and therefore could not be probed.

    Also, Cuccinelli "did not sufficiently state what the attorney general suspected Dr. Mann did that was 'false or fraudulent,'" the ruling said.

    Fine. Simply require all grant recipients to sign contracts allowing transparency before recieving public funds.
