This is one example where he does have a weak point. Solubility of gasses is higher in cold water. But the rate we are adding CO2 to the atmosphere means that it only slows the rate of increase slightly but still by a measurable amount. Warmer water has a lower solubility for gasses, especially CO2 so when the oceans cool and there is cool surface water it is better able to absorb more CO2 from the atmosphere. A fair chunk of the CO2 we emit is absorbed by the oceans leading to their gradual acidification and making life more difficult for some sensitive corals. Conversely as the oceans warm they become less able to take up CO2 and for the same rate of global CO2 emission the atmospheric concentration will rise more quickly. Regards, Martin Brown |

Since the oceans only remove about half the emitted CO2 now, and emissions are rising, claims that any such mechanism will actually lower atmospheric CO2 under current or anticipated emissions levels are fantasy. |

Oceans don't become less able to take up CO2 when warming up, they simply release CO2. Bull****. You didn't understand the solubility of gasses correctly, neither you thought over the anomaly of water. Bull****. Other pig-ignorant insults from this moron snipped for brevity. |

You need to learn some science. Oceans don't become less able to take up CO2 when warming up, they simply release CO2. Only if the oceans are already totally saturated with CO2 (and as yet they are not although the Southern Ocean is looking increasingly dodgy). Science article : http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/conten...ract/1136188v1 Original BAS press release (offline today) http://www.antarctica.ac.uk/press/pr...ease.php?id=89 You didn't understand the solubility of gasses correctly, neither you thought over the anomaly of water. Drooling kookery. It is you who does not understand. Your statement about corals is far-fetched and devoid of basics. More drooling kookery. There are already problems with some of the more sensitive corals failing to fix calcium. A reasonable laymans introduction to the ocean acidification problem is available online at New Scientists website: http://www.newscientist.com/article/...em.html?page=2 Corals have survived over millions of years with way more worse environmental conditions and it's proven man, evicting them now by raw sewage and killing the natural enemies of coral enemies. You'd better be informed correctly before posting such a crap. So would you. Not one of your claims hold up to the slightest scrutiny. Regards, Martin Brown |

You are a burnout from the sci.physics and sci.astro forums and would not have been caught dead discussing terrestrial sciences a few years ago but like many like you,have discovered that 'climate change' has all the same advantages as the 'time travel' conclusion of relativity in that it does not matter whether you are for or against fighting/ combating 'global warming',the damage is done by excluding planetary dynamics as the mechanism which separates climate from weather. Relativity is a consequence of the elaborate scheme woven around a reckless conclusion to make terrestrial ballistics look like planetary motion ,the can of worms created by Newton was eventually contained in a larger relativistic can yet behind it all is the mistake made by Flamsteed insofar as Newton built his gravitational agenda on the calendar driven astrological framework. "Absolute time, in astronomy, is distinguished from relative, by the equation or correlation of the vulgar time. For the natural days are truly unequal, though they are commonly considered as equal and used for a measure of time; astronomers correct this inequality..." Newton What Isaac is trying to define in terms of absolute/relative time is the Equation of Time - "... and that those days, reckon'd from noon to noon, are of different lenghts; as is known to all that are vers'd in Astronomy. Now between the longest and the shortest of those days, a day may be taken of such a length, as 365 such days, 5. hours &c. (the same numbers as before) make up, or are equall to that revolution: And this is call'd the Equal or Mean day, according to which the Watches are to be set......But this Difference is regular, and is otherwise call'd the Aequation" Huygens http://www.xs4all.nl/~adcs/Huygens/06/kort-E.html All these mountebanks who once made such fuss over 'time travel' and relativity which amounts to the destruction of astronomy are now moving into the area of terrestrial studies with the same mantras about 'learning science'.The truth is that none of you are reading from the same astronomical page as I read from and without an understanding of basic terrestrial facts such as the shape and rotational characteristics of the Earth,all this hoopla over 'fighting' climate or dictating global temperatures via carbon dioxide represents the lowest level yet attained by humans.

[Fredrik Seitz, former chairman of the American Science Academy] Taken from your sig. I take it that you are aware that in addition to his major contribution to solid state physics Fredrick Sietz was the original denier for hire with RJ Reynolds to help them keep the suckers smoking tobacco and dying of cancer for as long as possible. His methods still work. He pioneered the technique of creating doubt in the public mind to prevent them making rational decisions based on scientific evidence. You can take anything he says with a very large pinch of salt. Regards, Martin Brown |

Yes, there is a full account of Sietz's career as a propogandist he The American Denial of Global Warming http://www.uctv.tv/search-details.aspx?showID=13459 But I don't suppose Herr Muehlbauer has an attention span great enough to watch that video through to the end :-( Cheers, Alastair. |

For this you'll be included in Al Bore's prayers for sure. Britons... *shaking head* ... -- "No study to date has positively attributed all or part (of the climate change obvserved to date) to anthropogenic (manmade) causes." [IPCC report, censored paragraph] It wasn't a denunciation. It was a challenge. But as I suspected, it is well beyond your capabilities. Or perhaps it is not, and you just prefer to bury your head in the sand rather than face up to the truth. What you are repeating is just a bit of spin, invented by an out of work tobacco industry lobbyist. Cheers, Alastair. |
