  • The warming oceans worldwide are leading to the rapid melting of ice and glaciers long thought to be stable. A new study co-authored by SJSU Assistant Professor and Oceanographer Mike Wood shows us just how dire the situation is becoming, and how the Bay Area could be impacted. abc7ne.ws/49smRMu

    - We live in the same climate as it was 5 million years ago -
    I have an explanation regarding the cause of the climate change and global warming, it is the travel of the universe to the deep past since May 10, 2010.
    Each day starting May 10, 2010 takes us 1000 years to the past of the universe.
    Today April 22, 2024 the state of our universe is the same as it was 5 million and 96 thousand years ago.
    On october 13, 2026 the state of our universe will be at the point 6 million years in the past.
    On june 04, 2051 the state of our universe will be at the point 15 million years in the past.
    On june 28, 2092 the state of our universe will be at the point 30 million years in the past.
    On april 02, 2147 the state of our universe will be at the point 50 million years in the past.
    The result is that the universe is heading back to the point where it started and today we live in the same climate as it was 5 million years ago.

    I'm 65 and I've been told the ice sheets are going to be gone in a few years at least four times over the years but yet they're still there..
    The reason Greenland's ice pack is so old is because Greenland is shaped like a bowl. It holds the ice.
    And they said 1/3 of the ice sheet is gone around Greenland but yet sea level hasn't risen very much at all

      If I may, I think some important terms might be getting mixed up here.
      The ice /shelf/ refers to the ice that is attached to and surrounds Greenland but is floating on the ocean. That is falling apart quickly but itself has negligible effect on sea levels, though lots of potential to mess with the local salinity / throw off the Atlantic current.
      The ice /sheet/ is the ice sitting on the island itself. That will take much longer to break up. The concern is that the ice shelf has been acting to lock in/ protect the ice sheet, and if compromised the ice sheet will probably break up much faster.

    "There are huge non climate effects of carbon dioxide which are overwhelmingly favorable which are not taken into account. To me that's the main issue that the earth is actually growing greener. This has been actually measured from satellites the whole earth is growing greener as a result of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. So it's increasing agricultural yields, it's increasing the forests, it's increasing all kinds of growth in the biological world and that's more important and more certain than the effects on climate." ~Freeman Dyson, Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.

      Plants in a greenhouse that are not limited for water or fertilizers will grow a faster if CO2 is increased. But the limitation of water and fertilizer means plants will not see the same benefit outside. Climate naysayers have long upheld CO2 fertilization as evidence that humans are doing the planet a solid by pumping 40 billion tons of fossil carbon into the air every year. It’s an argument that makes sense superficially, but falls apart as soon as you start to unpack it.
      First and foremost,experts agree that CO2 fertilization is a temporary effect. The reason is simple: anything that limits growth, whether it’s sunlight, water, carbon, or even physical space, can only stimulate plants up to a point. Eventually, they run into some other resource limitation. This principle, called “Liebig’s law of the minimum,” was developed in agricultural science to explain why fertilizing a crop with plentiful nutrients doesn’t stimulate growth. It’s proven to be a very robust concept.

Lets talk about the geomagnetic poles racing faster and faster towards the equator. Lets talk about the potential decoupling of the crust from the mantle.. and subsequent 90 degree flip of the crust, and that flooding.
