So 40 years,300 ZJ,so about 7.5 ZJ per YEAR, correct?


Here's what I posted in January:

 

What you may be missing in SamSam's post is that 300 zettajoules of energy have accumulated in the last 40 years. The earth has to either convert into work or radiate all the energy that it receives from the sun (plus the small amount of energy it generates itself). If it doesn't, it get hotter and hotter. If it radiates more energy than it receives (or generates), it gets colder and colder. The Earth's atmosphere is the primary entity that controls whether outbound radiation is less-than or greater-than inbound radiation. That is why greenhouse gas concentrations (and cloud types and distribution, and snow coverage, etc) are such an important piece of this puzzle.

 

What the ‘sixth extinction’ will look like in the oceans: The largest species die off first | Washington Post

A study published in Science Advances claims that large marine animals such as sharks, whales, giant clams, sea turtles, and tuna, face the greatest threat of extinction due to the “unique human propensity to cull the largest members of a population.”

 

Since they are going to die anyway, we might as well eat them.

 

First U.S. Atlantic Ocean Marine National Monument Is Safe Haven for Sharks, Whales, Corals, and Other Marine Life | National Geographic

President Obama has recently established the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument, the first of its kind in the Atlantic Ocean.

New automatic plug for your boat drain!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1477510191/submersion-valve?ref=nav_search

View the gallery for a demo video. If you think this is a good idea, please grab one of the early adopter pledges!

I have a working prototype for a one way valve for use on boat drains. Once installed, the user will no longer need to remember to plug and unplug their boat. The two most prominent designs out on the market today have issues that this valve is designed to fix.

The oceans are being fished-out to feed pigs and chickens on factory farms..

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...hs-to-feed-pigs-and-chickens-on-a7234636.html

Most meat and fish on our supermarket shelves has been reared on a diet that contains small but vital quantities of fishmeal and oil.

Accounting for 60 per cent of all finfish (that is boned and cartilaginous fish as opposed to shellfish) landings in the world each year – the fishmeal and fish oil industry is by far and away the biggest fishery on the planet and yet paradoxically the one which consumers know the least about.

Scottish salmon depend upon fishmeal and oil in their diet – as do chickens and pigs by the billion.

For decades the industry has quietly gone about its own business – boiling up wet fish and producing much smaller amounts of fish powder and oil.

The industry has tried hard to dodge public controversy – sourcing ‘forage’ fish as they are known – from stocks that are deemed inedible or simply unwanted by human populations

 

So your government policies lead to people living in concrete tombs.

 

I guess the wild ones also like fish.

I avoid ingesting farm raised fish.
