Yes if our climate gets as warm as the Medieval Warm period or worse the Roman Warm period corals will die just as they did then. And if CO2 in the atmosphere reaches 1,000 ppm it will mean the end of life in the oceans just as it killed off the ocean creatures when atmospheric CO2 was above 1,000 ...

Yes just goes to prove that the oceans are becoming more aciditic and the loss of coral and other shell animals is a problem in a food web ecosystem. Corals are also temperature sensitive as well. We are not only outstripping natural boundries, but may find beyond marine life ecosystem collapses, we...

BTW are you aware of how much worse the models are than we thought? They neglected to add the PDO in (known since 1997) and so missed predicting the current cooling. What else are they leaving out? Could it be worse than we thought? Seems no real cooling after all with all due respect. http://www.a...

Consider General Relativity. Electrons are not a point with zero or infinitely small dimension. They have a finite size in space (they occupy space) because of normal mass and they curve space due to that mass. They do not live below their schwartzschild radius. These are not infinite densities of m...

You asked what the purpose was, I gave it. Thank you for the buddhist complement! Of course you could always find a lower purpose or a compromise to a higher purpose. I believe you can move forward into a sustainable future with technology and also develop spiritually which might be a future with le...

but, we have to be better stewards than that and responsible to all living beings as the apex creature. Why? What is so sanctified about future life, by scientific evidence? Lovelock has the simple answer - it is not that the planet will suffer at our hands, but we will suffer at the planet's hands...

Losing arctic ice is endangering polar bears. Forest destruction is killing off countless numbers of species. Commerical overfishing is seriously depleting fish stocks and net dragging is distrupting habitat. Ocean acidification and warmer seas may endanger shell species and corals. In many cases, w...

This latest research indicates CO2 hasn't been this high for at least 15 million years. That would be long before "lucy" ever lived and an experiment with climate that we should be careful to avoid. But the climate has always changed. Large areas of the Sahara used to be fertile but it changed 10,0...

Ramesh Naik, a 35-year-old red gram farmer, told us that he had sold his last goats to buy rice for his family – they were existing now on that and mashed herbs. "When I was a child everywhere there was water, and rains. I suppose those were the golden days – now we're always looking to the sky, loo...

I was given a prediction from a child whom I know has a very special gift: She said that the military will develop it. Clearly there is something even more dramatic in the prediction, then. The military doesn't develop much themselves any more, it's all by private contract. The only way I can see t...

...BTW I deserve no respect. Either my work passes muster or it doesn't. If it doesn't it deserves to be shot down. I LOVE design reviews. I show no quarter and expect none. I endeavor to be very careful in my work. I have a very big EGO and just HATE getting shot down. I use my EGO as an incentive...

But since the periodic nature of the PDO means that we have hit the highs and lows before, why haven't all the clathrates been cooked out previously? Thanks. METHANE HYDRATE STABILITY AND BREAKDOWN The ocean temperature has to reach a base threshold. I understand the concept that the clathrates wil...

Clathrates occur at depths between 300 and 2000 metres.
