Climate Change skeptics? [ot]

Just as your smartboys from NAT GEO state it will be soon.

And you do realize that long before it was a "lake" it in fact was BELOW sea level

I read a funny quote: We're treating Mother Earth like Keith Moon treated a hotel room.

"What we see in the areas that are the most damaged from numerous different disturbances, we see these jellyfish bloom problems," Gershwin told LiveScience.

In the Sea of Japan, for example, jellyfish are drifting in from China, where reports indicate the country is facing massive overfishing and pollution, as well as coastal construction where jellyfish polyps (or young) can find a home, Gershwin said.

Some researchers say that overfishing removes other species that compete for the same food jellyfish eat, such as plankton. Gershwin thinks that overfishing, climate change and a combination of other factors are clearing the way for a jellyfish takeover. Jellyfish are said to prefer warmer oceans; no direct link has been found for why acidification would benefit them, according to a 2008 paper in the journal Limnology and Oceanography, but some researchers say jellyfish increase in abundance in acidic conditions.

"The jellyfish seem to be the ones that are flourishing in this while everything else is suffering," Gershwin said.

The levels of gases in the atmosphere that drive global warming increased to a record high in 2012.

According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), atmospheric CO2 grew more rapidly last year than its average rise over the past decade.

Concentrations of methane and nitrous oxide also broke previous records

Thanks to carbon dioxide and these other gases, the WMO says the warming effect on our climate has increased by almost a third since 1990.

The WMO's annual greenhouse gas bulletin measures concentrations in the atmosphere, not emissions on the ground.

Carbon dioxide is the most important of the gases that they track, but only about half of the CO2 that's emitted by human activities remains in the atmosphere, with the rest being absorbed by the plants, trees, the land and the oceans.

Upsetting the balance
Since 1750, global average levels of CO2 in the atmosphere have increased to 141% of the pre-industrial concentration of 278 parts per million (ppm).

According to the WMO there were 393.1ppm of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in 2012, an increase of 2.2ppm over 2011.

This was above the yearly average of 2.02ppm over the past decade.

"The observations highlight yet again how heat-trapping gases from human activities have upset the natural balance of our atmosphere and are a major contribution to climate change," said WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-24833148

FED's have nothing to do with Education. That is a State and Local budget issue.

I brought this education deal up a last month and the return argument was it is a State and Local fundtion.

So PHUUUUUUUUUULE now agrees that humans are part of the natural cycle of evolution. What ever they do is all part of the evolutionary process.

merely posting facts. how you disseminate the info is clearly up to you. have a good day Chief.

Yes you did ICET.

I don't need to spend my life putting rocks and sticks together
