Antarctica Ice Chime

CO2 release out of control says scientist

Dr. Wallace Broecker
..."I've written 480 scientific papers and (click title to entry - thank you)... 10 books and if the thing I'm remembered for is coining the term 'global warming', that is sort of sad, because I would have wasted my life."
After first suggesting there could be negative effects from pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in 1957, the award-winning American scientist - who was in New Zealand last week to speak at a past climates symposium - has turned his attention to taking carbon out of the air and storing it.
He believes the world has no chance of getting CO2 emissions under control in time to avoid dangerous global warming.
He wants urgent research done to find ways to tuck atmospheric CO2 away until after human production of it has peaked....

The weather at Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska (Crystal Wind Chime) is warm:

Seaglider. The University of Washington developed this 'glider' and deployed for six months at Davis Strait between the North American continent and Greenland. This is one of the locations were 'fresh water' from melting Arctic Ocean ice enters the global ocean circulations.

We know from prior Earth data that the 'underwater waterfall' at this location powers the entire global ocean circulation. When this fresh water ceases to exist the ocean circulations slow and changes climate.

The University of Washington is doing vitally important work. Clicking the title to this entry will explain Seagliders mission in a video. Thank you.
