As I ALREADY TOLD YOU BEFORE: I saw a big time climate scientist literally shock Bill Maher when he told him this on his show.
Bill had him on thinking the guy was going to join him in a round of doom-and-gloom revelry over "climate change" and how dumb "tea-baggers" are.
It's usually funny stuff at the very beginning of the show when he gets a guest and they fry the right wing together.
But Bill was stopped in his tracks when the guy revealed that the ocean and the plankton are eating up the excess CO2 faster than EVER before. And this was from a very liberal and very well respected scientist (according to Bill Maher's intro of him)
And that destroyed all the computer models that the "scientific papers" that YOU keep quoting are based on.
New "scientific papers" now need to be made using the new data and the new computer models.
The coolest thing about this is that just a couple of years before that...these same scientists were worried that they were going to look stupid again because they saw that the ocean was doing this.
And so a flurry of papers came out apparently (I found them on google) claiming that the ocean was going to slow down.
And of course...just like when they predicted that the East Coast would be underwater by the year 2000 and they predicted that an Ice Age was coming in the late 1970's...they were wrong AGAIN.
They didn't take into account that plankton LOVE CO2 and eat the shit out of it. lol
So Crockett, instead of acting like a jerk.
Can't you just be happy for once? SCIENCE says that this "problem" that never really existed is now solved.
And hell yes...let's go as green as we can. If I had the extra money I'd pick up a Tesla tomorrow. And as soon as solar panel companies stop price gouging...I'll put those on my house too.
But you should open your eyes and realize this is a money grab.
Big polluting companies buying "carbon credits" for hundreds of millions of dollars isn't "saving" the Earth.
It's just making green energy companies rich beyond your dreams. |
Robbie.. Oceans do adsorb CO2, this is known. It's estimated at roughly 30% of the carbon Dioxide produced is absorbed by the Ocean. That sounds great right?
Except if you look at the "Big Picture"
I have a word for you to look up..
Ocean Acidification
Read up on Ocean Acidification and tell me if you think it's a good idea to continue polluting the air with excessive CO2 gasses and assuming the Ocean will clean it all up.
This is the problem with everything I read on the denial side of the argument. They use very specific things and cherry pick data but fail to look at the bigger picture or even at very simple things as this example of what happens to the CO2 once the ocean absorbs it.
It doesn't just disappear into the ocean Robbie, it continues to cause problems further down the chain. You have to look at the entire picture to see how bad this is for us.
Now if the plankton are eating it up, then of course that should be studied.. However there is a very big hole in this argument. If the Oceans could readily handle the added CO2.. Why does it continue to increase? Also what about the rest of the excessive CO2 left in the atmosphere that the ocean doesn't absorb. It's left as greenhouse gas and continues to drive global warming.
If the earth was already solving the issue why are the CO2 levels increasing each year?
