It's okay to laugh out loud. I thought I heard everything when it came to Human Induced Global Warming. The latest in Anti-Establishment Rhetoric states, there is a 'vent' in the ocean that sends carbon dioxide into outer space.
Yep. They said it. It was a FOX News station. I heard it and I'm still wondering how any Earth process can 'select' carbon dioxide over any other and then vent it into outer space. I mean to tell you that is pure fantasy.
If they believe there is an Earth vent that is sending carbon dioxide into outer space, then they need a chimney sweep because it ain't working good.
The closer the USA gets to the elections of 2008, the more propaganda that will come out about Global Warming and Climate Change. The reason is obvious. When a President is elected to stop this deadly trend that the USA to date has refused to recognize yet alone legislate policy, the opposition will seek to 'Swiftboat' any mention of the legitimacy of the issue.

The link to this entry is an article about Solar Radiation. It has it's merits, but, nowhere in the article is there a mention of the increase in Earth's temperature because of the Sun's activities.
Solar radiation is electronic in nature. It will disrupt electronic transmissions. That is the primary irritation with Solar flares and Sunspots. Earth is in 'The Habitable Zone" in rotation around the Sun and due to that reality there is life on this planet. Stating the Sun is responsible for Global Warming and Climate Change is bogus. The Sun has cycles and there has never been proven a link between it's cycles and that of Earth, however, there is the reality that as carbon dioxide levels increased since the late 1800s with the Industrial Revolution, Earth's climate has been different and warming.
There is a direct and tracable link between rising carbon dioxide levels and climate change. That link goes back decades. It was estimated a long time ago that Earth would change with higher carbon dioxide levels. Not due to politics, but, because scientists wanted to understand and estimate the level of carbon dioxide that would bring about damage to biota and people. The estimates back then reflected far higher levels than we are currently experiencing that would bring about the severe changes we are seeing now. As a matter of fact some of the estimates were twice the level they are now.
I promised to return to the issue below regarding the circulation of the Arctic Ocean. It mentions cycles. That is a reference point for the scientists reporting their data. They are simply reporting information they have found in their research and making reference to past 'decade-long' events as a point of reference to go forward from. In other words, they understand their data in relation to prior events and therefore none of this seems alien to them to discuss.
The thing is this, as is with every other mention of cycles in relation to this topic. For one, there is no more debate. There is a huge concenus among scientists that Human Induced Global Warming is a foregone conclusion that requires action by all 'carbon dioxide polluting' nations. That is to begin. So when the Conservative Media continues to rant about fantasy and myth surrounding this issue, it's to maintain a political base and not to deal with the facts. The facts are plain and no different than the Larsen Ice Shelf was monitored and known to be on the verge of collapse by sincere study over decades of time, current time. Not historic, science simply does not have those records no matter how they study fossil remains and find evidence in Earth geological records, it will never reflect absolute conditions. Ice cores come the closest to realizing what Earth's troposphere was like in the historical record.
Earth has finite properties. There are not infinite possibilities to the reasons for the current trends of Climate Change. There just isn't. When Earth reacts to increasing heat there will be 'old patterns' of weather such as El Nino, the Arctic Oscillation, etc., etc.. That is the 'nature' of Earth. No one can change that. When old patterns manifest, it is easy to point to such events from recorded and ancient history, allowing false confidence in the 'idea' Earth was always alright and will continue to be. That 'attitude' is very dangerous and not prudent. In order for the reporting of the current Arctic Ocean circulation to be attributed to 'decadonal cycles,' there has to be COMPLETE correlation with historic record and not just a casual one. The relationship the scientists reporting their findings have assembled in this article is a casual one and I'll explain why.
While the findings regarding Arctic Ocean circulation reveals there is a 'cycle' of change 'historically' to attribute it to such events, there is no complete correlation between the current climate conditions and past climate conditions. There can't be. The past climate conditions. Correctly put, the past 'recorded' climate conditions never were reflective of the high levels of carbon dioxide in the troposphere that exists now.
No matter what cycle one refers to, no matter how reliable Earth seems to manifest, it is not.
Never in recorded time has there been this level of carbon dioxide, nor the large and increasing human population that lives on Earth now. In order for scientists to make broad brush strokes to reassure anyone of conclusions that this is a cycle that will resolve they have to make complete correlations to ALL tropospheric conditions and NOT just CONVENIENT and EASY ones.
The article regarding the Arctic Ocean circulation does not factor in any current densities of carbon dioxide, or any loss of species such as 'carbon sink' trees to come to conclusions. The BEST these scientists can say is that there has been a recorded history of these cycles while noting the current tropospheric conditions have never been the same in past cycles.
THAT is the inconvenient truth the Conservative Media REFUSES to deal with and misleads the public and electorate into fantasy and myth. It's a darn shame these people are allowed the influence they have because it's grossly dangerous and irresponsible.
Now.
We go forward with the concensus of scientists that see the problem clearly and ridicule those like the Bush/Cheney administration that ignore the evidence and continue to place human lives and species in danger. The article is interesting to note and track while Earth exhibits enough normalcy to realize we haven't gone completely over the edge, YET, but the potential is still there.
