Report author Dr Steve Rintoul, Oceans Program Leader, Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre The oceans as a whole are really important for climate because they can absorb huge amounts of heat and carbon dioxide.
New research shows the Southern Ocean is storing more heat than any other ocean in the world. The study, carried out by Tasmania's Antarctic Climate and Ecosystem centre, has found that carbon dioxide levels in the Southern Ocean will be corrosive to some shellfish by 2030 if …
Given the state of the global economy, it might not surprise you to learn that psychopaths may be controlling the world.
You would have to go back at least 15 million years to find carbon dioxide levels on Earth as high as they are today, a UCLA scientist and colleagues report Oct. 8 in the online edition of the journal Science.
Heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are building up so high, so fast, that some scientists now think the world can no longer limit global warming to the level world leaders have agreed upon as safe.

Global warming gases have hit record levels in the world's atmosphere, with concentrations of carbon dioxide up 39 percent since the start of the industrial era in 1750, the U.N. weather agency said Monday.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Thursday it was “absurd” that Republicans claimed they were trying to create jobs. “They’re doing nothing to create jobs,” he told MSNBC’s Al Sharpton.
The global output of heat-trapping carbon dioxide jumped by the biggest amount on record, the U.S. Department of Energy calculated, a sign of how feeble the world's efforts are at slowing man-made global warming.

The poll, which surveyed Florida voters, was conducted by Suffolk University.
As the economic losses pile up, they are having an impact on global commodities like cotton and beef — stretching this crisis well beyond the state of Texas, and showing just how “global” the problem of global warming truly is.

Wow, a very thorough study of tree rings from China.
A good read and summary of some of the emails most damaging revelations.
Although Climategate has been widely dismissed as nothing more than the usual academic sniping, it is much more than that. In some of the e-mails, scientists propose ways to massage the data to make it look better. They try to figure out how to get dissident scientists fired.
8.6% unemployment rate! WOW! That is such good news isn't it? Not really when you consider that the rate plummeted because of people who quit looking for work--a fact that has finally been admitted in a Mainstream Media outlet (MSNBC). Combined with the h …

Is that YOU in your avatar? :P
R2Sweet -
I accidentally stumbled onto a "Gozo" page or whatever with really erudite and insightful posts for once and I thought to see who or what this guy if it is a guy is all about, I don't know of Gozo so I went to his personal page. I posted my thoughts and went to his page (lets assume it is a he) and found your photo. Now, I upfront apologize if I am offending you but your eh bikini and your endowments augmented your good looks and I am a little needy tonight you know need of female companionship and thought what can I lose the worst she will fire off some insult and shoot me down, I can take it my ego is well intact. I read one of your posts and just read the tags of the others and thought wow my kind of gal. Know first off I am just a little over 60 I will be candid and tell you right off but younger women seem to really enjoy my company, I know so in fact, get the hint and I look much younger than my age.
I felt capricious enough tonight to send this note to you I mean even sending this is somewhat gratifying in a sensual way, not my ideal but we must start somewhere. Whatever you look like a real beautiful women, smart and well endowed with a great body, which means you take care of your physical self. Now, brawn and brains is my ideal and I thought I would and should invite you to have a sip of tea or what not if you are ever in California, Palm Springs which is where I live. I hope I am not coming on to strong I only want a platonic relationship I am to old for you though if we ever did go out I think you would find me a lot of fun and I don't look my age I try to keep myself in shape via tennis and golf. My love is Jazz and Blues music in that order though I even enjoy opera, I am a lover of all types of music and am right now listening to a nice song of Bob Marley and the Wailers. "Roots, Rock Reggae".
We could play a round of golf or hit a few tennis balls both of these sports are, well these are actually the only two really popular sports activities in this area. Unless you count hiking and other activities I can't think of any right now your personal photo is what is on my mind, which makes it hard to think of anything else. I could go on but that saying that there is no fool such as an old fool in relation to younger women inhibits me from droning on any longer.
I just was impressed with your beauty and smarts while waiting for a prizefight on cable TV I decided to send you this message. If you take the time you can see that we are kindred souls in that we share, as far as I can tell I only read one post and the tags, the same perspective on many issues which is a great start for any relationship. My prizefight is about ready to start and I don't want to be verbose and make too much of a fool of myself but the invitation still stands. I did not put you under a microscope I only read one post looked and liked the entire package. Have fun enjoy life it goes by pretty fast before you know it you are older and then it is over. Enjoy and have a great evening and remember the invitation still and will remain open. Good Luck.
Take care,
Persevere

Hi roxanne, glad you joined my friends' way back when....I hope to have lively discussions and trade info with you! You make me think! Yet I still manage to find the scientific answers to your cause!
Roxanne2Sweet is one of my favorite people to watch on Newsvine. She seeds fantastic articles and defends her beliefs with such intelligence, conviction, and honesty that it's incredibly satisfying to watch her cut down any posters who bring BS into her topics. Actually, I take that back. She doesn't cut them down, she eviscerates them. Truly an asset to the Newsvine community and the best person you could ask to have on your side in a debate.
Thanks for all the detailed posts undoing TCDS (terminal climate denial syndrome). I don't know how you get all of that detail or where you get your resolve to keep it going each day. But again, thanks.
TY, Roxanne, your diligence in regard to environmental issues shows an ability to set an intelligent agenda.

Thanks for the boost, coming from someone as smart as you that means a lot. I think you are like my niece, she is a Lawyer.

oh Roxanne. Unfortunatly you are getting your info from the cartoons writers of Hollywood and the cartoon characters of MSNBC who don't report the news....they report the brainwash of their beliefs only. You really need to get educated and wize up girl! It is not LA LA land in Obama's past. There is some seriously scary stuff that resemble him and his true beliefs...NOT what they are telling him to brainwash the American'w with now. Unfortunatly the respectable mature news channels that know the truth are not as evil as the cartoon characters of the liberals BUT THEY SHOULD CONSTANTLY BROADCAST OBAMA'S REAL PAST ...HIS REAL BELIEFS.

HI, I just wanted to leave you a response about the Republicans that you know being closet bigots. I'm not sure what republicans you are talking to but the Republicans that I know and come in contact with are anything but bigots. I think you need to spend time reading about and listening to more Conservative people and ideas, I think you may be surprised. Don't buy into everything your being taught in college, look at the opposite side of issues and life and then decide. You never label a whole group of people, it makes you seem uninformed. You seem to be a very intelligent person and I wish you the best with your studies, but try to be more open minded. Thanks.
