Re: [geo] Evidence for deep-ocean frozen methane release VERY bad news?

Eric, I read a paper a few years back showing measurements of the the temperature of the Norwegian current increasing 2 degrees C since the 1970s. Oliver On 10/15/2015 8:28 AM, Eric Durbrow wrote: I found this recent article extremely disturbing but perhaps I am exaggerating the impact of p

Not so RE: [geo] Carbon reduction incentive.

Stephen and all,Dr. MacKay's premise is wrong.  Nations do not have to agree "on a common goal in everyone's self-interest."Rather a fraction of one big self-interested nation can drive every other nation.  The U.S. has a very vocal and well-funded subgroup of people and politicians who see small g

Re: [geo] Evidence for deep-ocean frozen methane release VERY bad news?

Worrisome but as with all these bubble studies the data is sparse relative to the area covered so difficult to make any firm conclusions. A major large area study is needed: lots of sensors or a new remote sensing optoelectronic seismological or sonar technique exploiting bubble phenomenology. Re

Re: [geo] Could we slow the flow in the Drake passage to reduce the circumpolar current and winds around Anctartica? And what would the effect be?

Hi Brian, My first thought was that you must be mad to even consider such an idea. But actually there is an acute problem with warm ocean currents melting away at the terminations of Antarctic glaciers and causing accelerated ice mass loss "beyond a tipping point" for some glaciers. If we could m
