ocean conditions are changing due to Rapid Global Climate Shift

do you seriously believe him?

 

but you can rest well knowing the koch brothers are doing well

 

Serious as a heart attack.

 

Today's wave activity is still pretty tame around here. I don't know what you are going on about except to scare everyone into subservience.

Hoyt,

Clearly you need to negotiate a better deal. Don't spend all you denier time for free.

 

well that was a given
no Hoyt video's presenting the ultra right wing propaganda against health care reform are not on topic

I think its fair to maybe ask one more time politely that you refrain from hijacking a thread dedicated to boaters and the conditions in which they must operate with your political agenda's, either concerning health care of global warming denial. There are other threads concerning those issues where you might confine yourself to those topics.

 

It is just one more hole in your liberal canoe.

 

Sometimes the waves aren't bigger. They just look that way because the boat is settling lower in the water. Since AGW isn't causing increased wave height, your theory is blown.

 

thats funny I haven't read one singe descenting opinion concerning this issue. IE 100% agreement that the wave heights are increasing because of Rapid Global Climate Shift. Even the north Atlantic oscillation is more energetic because of a warming planet which in turn is held responsible for the increasing wave heights along Europes Atlantic coast. So while your denial has no grounds within the science it seems only reasonable that you keep it to the threads that follow that topic. this one is dedicated to the effects of climate change. specifically changing ocean conditions like wave heights and storm intensities as well as shifting currents and changing flora and fauna

 

The National Council for Science and the Environment is highlighting this issue with a conference entitled
http://communities.earthportal.org/ncseoceans2011/

Our Changing Oceans

the first order on the docket is the gulf and its response to the oil spill
the second is changing ocean conditions due to global climate shift
aint that a surprise

so lets try and address the subject in an adult manor and maybe help keep some boaters abreast of whats going on.

 

Boston or others- have you seen a research addressing the role of mass events on climate.

As a list of possibles:

1) Plate tectonics- I am thinking of the role of continent position on ocean currents and the flora which which might dominate given shifts in latitude.

2) Ocean fauna- species composition which may influence the oxygen production and speed of carbon cycling into benthic sediments.

3) Species shifts of terrestrial flora- the dominance/evolution of deciduous trees. Effects on O2 production or albedo perhaps?

In my minds eye I am seeing a graph of climate with a big arrow pointing to march 6 2011....there must be several primary variables which are working together to define our current climate and fix the range we have seen for the last several hundred thousand years.


Each epoch must in a similar fashion have its climate shaped by some combination of forces.
Has the research revealed the influence which usurped the last driver and caused the decline to our current temperature range for instance?

I will post the rest of the article on Hoyts thread- I was waiting for a request/interest..

 

I saw an interesting article on the deep ocean topography and how it effects CO2 sequestration

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-12205485

as well as this article

The Discovery took Scott, Shackleton and other pioneers to Antarctica in 1901-02

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-12524042

which was really interesting concerning the history of CO2 sequestration

 

lots of stuff coming in about the ice caps melting today, as usual the measured loss is higher than predicted, thus proving once again that our scientific community is if anything under reporting the severity of the issues.

given some of the previous discussion I thought it interesting that alongside that last, this piece came up called

Science must end Climate Confusion

This event will make any possible change in wave height by climate change look like a gnat on a leviathon's @$$.

Ya but at present the wave heights have already increased by about 30% in effected areas and are getting higher and higher every year. As apposed to the "possibility" of a catastrophic island collapse some time in the near future. So while tsunami of this type are very destructive they are fairly uncommon occurrences
