From the atmosphere to the abyss: Iron’s role in Earth’s climate history
Iron is a vital nutrient for marine life and plays a significant role in regulating atmospheric carbon dioxide by influencing the growth of phytoplankton, which absorb carbon dioxide.
Temperature – a driver of the carbon cycle
The temperature-dependent model makes it possible to better separate the actual anthropogenic origin of CO2 changes and the natural causes, among which temperature is a very important one. Many people were confused…
Climate Change Weekly # 528 – Farm Groups Fear Losing Climate Subsidies, Not Climate Change Itself
The Heartland Institute has worked since its inception to reform the nation’s agriculture laws and regulations, freeing farmers from onerous, unnecessary regulations and higher costs imposed by federal and state…
A Tale of 2 Opposing Ocean Warming Narratives!
One suggests recent ocean warming has been totally driven by human emissions that amplified the greenhouse effect. That narrative is supported the correlation with rising CO2 that blankets the globe.…
How Much Ocean Heating is Due To Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vents?
Given these various pieces of evidence, it would difficult to believe that deep-sea hydrothermal vents — actually, an increase in their heat output — can be the reason for recent…
NOAA’s Graph Provides Best Evidence That Solar Heating Is Warming the Oceans, Not CO2
Why such regional differences from the same CO2 blanket?
Plate Tectonics Drives Ocean Oxygenation
… these findings reveal the hitherto underestimated role played by plate tectonics in the evolution of biodiversity in the oceans over geological time scales.
Why the Sun, Not CO2, Heats the Oceans Revisiting the Debate: Does Greenhouse Back-radiation Warm the Oceans?
After analyzing the physics detailed in this video, I’m convinced it is solar energy that drives the observed ocean heating, and any infrared ocean heating is insignificant at best.
How ‘Viral Dark Matter’ May Help Mitigate Climate Change
The question of magnitude is a serious consideration when taking into account the vastness of the ocean.
Claim: Timing Of Ocean Plankton Blooms to Shift with Global Warming
Global warming is directly impacting the ocean’s net primary production (NPP) at the base of the food web as well as the seasonal timing of plankton blooms, according to a…
Claim: Unchecked Global Emissions on Track to Initiate Mass Extinction of Marine Life
Peer-Reviewed Publication PRINCETON UNIVERSITY As greenhouse gas emissions continue to warm the world’s oceans, marine biodiversity could be on track to plummet within the next few centuries to levels not…
Claim: CMIP6 Models Have Improved in Simulating Sea Surface Salinity and Freshwater Flux
Salinity changes the ocean stratification by affecting the density, which has a certain impact on the thermodynamic processes of the ocean, and then modulates sea surface salinity variations.
Claim: Climate change has likely begun to suffocate the world’s fisheries
New research finds the ocean’s middle depths, home to many commercially fished species, started losing oxygen at unnatural rates in 2021
Volcanic Fertilization of the Oceans Drove Severe Mass Extinction, Say Scientists
“Our study may prompt reinvestigations of other mass extinctions during Earth history”, concludes Dr Longman.
How Natural Oscillations Affect Arctic Climate & Predict Future Climate Change: Part 4
The degree that natural quasi-cycles, or oscillations, generate dramatic changes in the Arctic must be determined before scientists can blame rising CO2. Natural oscillations have highly significant effects on global…
How the Sun Controls Arctic Ice and Temperatures part 3
Part 3 on controls on Arctic sea ice. Although sunspot cycles do not add enough energy to explain the Arctic’s warming, the sun and sunspot cycles do explain redistribution of…
Off By More Than 99%? It Changes Nothing!
Ocean plastic pollution is less than 1% of what we’ve been screaming for decades, but is still as big a problem as ever
Scientists Use NASA Satellite Data to Track Ocean Microplastics From Space
Scientists from the University of Michigan have developed an innovative way to use NASA satellite data to track the movement of tiny pieces of plastic in the ocean.
NASA’s S-MODE Takes to the Air and Sea to Study Ocean Eddies
After nearly a year and a half of delays due to the pandemic, the S-MODE team is excited to get their planes in the sky and the gliders in the…
