Snipped 700 words of wisdom just to show that I really care.

Obviously I know what is going on as you can tell from the previous post. I thought I might just point out the obvious to start others off thinking if they are too tired to contemplate such stuff on their own:

With the storms in the northern seas a considerable amount of water is sorted out. I turns from salt to fresh and fresh water flows into the Arctic via the Norwegian Sea. Obviously this has to push a lot of brine out of the way.

And that brine hold a lot of heat you won't find on any of dawlish's posts.

Another thing I should have mentioned on another thread yesterday:

400 parts per million is 1 pound in 2500lb (in the UK that is 1.116071 tons) and a column of air 60 miles high only weighs 15 pounds for every square inch of sea level.

It would take 166.666666667 such columns, that is 0.116 square feet to contain 1 lb of carbon dioxide. I am amazed that the creator had the sense to make carbondioxide heavier than air, because, even spread so thinly he manages to feed us well on so little.

It doesn't sound so much in square feet but if co2 wasn't heavier than air it would be spread out 60 miles high with no reason to come back down. I don't think realising how close we are to annihilation makes living on the edge any more difficult. Nor that showing him some appreciation makes all that much difference to him but I am sure that me showing him my appreciation makes my life a lot richer.

If it is any consolation to anybody else, I am sorry for being me. But the truth is the truth no matter who it hurts.
