Who would have thunk? 70% of the surface of the Earth may have more of an effect than previously thought.
Isoprene is a gas that is formed by both the vegetation and the oceans. It is very important for the climate because this gas can form particles that can become clouds and then later affect temperature and precipitation. Previously it was assumed that isoprene is primarily caused by biological processes from plankton in the sea water.
70%???? WOW! I wonder if they included those big wet thingees that cover 70% of the earth? How do these cretins sleep at night?
enjoyed this comment;
No doubt about it, the science is settled….kinda….sorta…maybe….uhhhhhh…..
(the new grant application is due today?)…ABSOLUTELY!!!
So how soon will we be living under domes as predicted by the eco-wackos back in the 1970’s and how soon will we see WATERWORLD like from Kevin Cosners stupid movie?
And here I thought that the primary biologic source of isoprene in nature was from the gas plant. An interesting plant that grows in my garden that’s great fun to set alight on a warm summer night. Have to watch how much it spreads as fields of gas plants can spontaneously combust and this plant has a biblical reference as the “burning bush”. The plant seems unharmed by burning off its reddish sticky layer of isoprene releasing compound.
I’m sure the response of the adherents of the “climate change” religion will be that 200 microns is nothing when compared to the bulk of an SUV that’s far more responsible for destroying the terrestial garden of eden that existed before Henry Ford destroyed the planet.
The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulafft, at Bergen, Norway.
Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the Gulf Stream still very warm.
Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelt which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.
Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.
I must apologize, I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922, as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post —– yes, 93 years ago.
