    Warmer temperatures at Great Barrier Reef causing sea turtles to be born female| Reuters

    Rising temperatures are turning almost all green sea turtles in a Great Barrier Reef population female, new research has found.

    As the gender of green turtles is determined by temperature, the hotter weather caused by climate change induces warmer incubations of eggs, and that has led to a greater number of female hatchlings.The study said that more than 99 percent of the juvenile and sub adult population on the northern part of the reef are female, and 69 percent are female on the southern reef.

    “That really rings alarm bells for the long-term survival of those northern green turtle population.”

    Have you read the charts? Also, I think it would be reasonable to ask you to stop the insults. I may have a difference of opinion, but it doesn't warrant your language.
    Also, NASA concurs that the ice is not decreasing, but increasing.

    Because of climate change, hurricanes are raining harder and may be growing stronger more quickly | Washington Post

    Hurricanes are fueled by heat, and in late August, before Harvey struck, ocean heat content reached record high levels in the western Gulf of Mexico. A study determined that the energy released into the atmosphere from Harvey’s rainfall matched the amount of energy which was removed from the ocean in the storm’s wake. In other words, the study found that the amount of heat stored in the ocean is directly related to how much rain a storm can unload. The study said. “Harvey could not have produced so much rain without human-induced climate change.”
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    A study in the journal Geophysical Research Letters found that the magnitude of these rapid intensification events increased from 1986 to 2015 in the central and eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean. From 1986 to 2000, the average storm that rapidly intensified saw its peak winds increase by 32 mph in 24 hours, but the increase was 36 mph in 24 hours from 2001 to 2015.

    Scientists differ on whether this cycle or human activity is driving trends in tropical Atlantic Ocean temperatures. Michael Mann, a climate scientist at Penn State who was not involved in the study, has published work that demonstrates a dominant man-made role in the temperature increase. In an email, he said the study’s attribution to this cycle, rather than human activity, was “not justified.”

    Cripes. A month later you reply. So you don't even make an effort to follow along, make no effort to validate what you claim, try and change the subject to something else and then put in a whine about my language. So, you've got nothing I guess. Just a troll.

    First, I post whenever I want, not according to your schedule. Second, NASA agrees with my claims, as the pilot charts do. That is evidence from my part, and conspiracy theories and insults from you.

    Evidence, that's funny.

    Actually, you made a very basic mistake in your reading and interpretation of the pilot charts and the NASA material.
    You can see exactly where and why you went wrong at theses two sites....

    Gonzo - no-one but you has seen these Pilot Charts you talk about after EDIT 2002 (NOT 2015)

    And as for your "Sea Ice is Increasing - .", that's a 2015 report, superseded by this more accurate one.
    The latest 2018 report "Scientists have found large increases in snow accumulation in a vast region of eastern Antarctica, a trend that, if it continues or becomes more widespread, could lessen the ice sheet's contribution to sea level rise and possibly help mitigate one of the most feared consequences of climate change." was recorded in just one area
    Climate change sea-level rise could be delayed by Antarctic snowfall http://www.afr.com/news/policy/climate/climate-change-sealevel-rise-could-be-reduced-by-antarctic-snowfall-20180104-h0d8ri

    and " NASA Study Shows Global Sea Ice Diminishing, Despite Antarctic Gains
    "Sea ice increases in Antarctica do not make up for the accelerated Arctic sea ice loss of the last decades, a new NASA study finds. As a whole, the planet has been shedding sea ice at an average annual rate of 13,500 square miles (35,000 square kilometers) since 1979, the equivalent of losing an area of sea ice larger than the state of Maryland every year."

    I disagree to be the only one that has ever used pilot charts. Navigators have been using them for a couple of centuries. I NASA and the so called "scientific community" reverses the claims every couple of years, they are not really credible.

    I can't believe you are being so OBTUSE !!!

    I NEVER SAID "only one that has ever used pilot charts" !!!!


    The ONLY links you have produced are to charts up to 2002. They are OUT of F*^&*&^(G DATE !!!!


    This has been pointed out time and time again, with no actual response from you.

    Now you are rubbishing recent peer published NASA and NOAH Studies.


    Is this just you being humorous ??

    It's a rebuttal equilivant to the "evidence" gonzo has offered. An even more definitive rebuttal uses Gonzo's own sites in the exact manner he used them here... https://msi.nga.mil/NGAPortal/MSI.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=msi_portal_page_62&pubCode=0003
    and here...
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration https://www.nasa.gov/
    Proof positive he's wrong.
    He suggests I'm fomenting conspiracies, where I believe he is a simple troll, feigning (hopefully it's feigning) obtuseness to get more reactions.
    He's already gotten a page or two here with the only evidence proffered is his say-so that those two sites prove what he says. His unwillingness to provide any more specific information on the whereabouts of what might help his case is dismissed with "Firstly, I refer to a published document that is freely available. Secondly, I provided a link for you to download the pilot charts."
    Asked to be more specific as far as pinpointing where in this pile of handmade common seamen notes there might be support for what he says, he replies "I already did. It is in the link." It seems he's either a troll, or whatever he offers to counter the anthropological global warming situation is pretty well non existent.
    There are more reasons to doubt, but it's not worth the time. At least Barnacle tried to defend his outrageous claims, at times that was interesting.

    Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer, and Chief of Naval Operations Admiral John Richardson, both highlighted these climate-related Arctic challenges before the


    Geez, I guess this means you are not very credible either.
