Volcanos Helped Slow Ocean Warming  

Debris form a volcanic eruption that occurred more than a century ago still lingers in the Earth’s upper atmosphere where it is helping to keep ocean temperatures cool and offset sea-level rising, a new study finds.

Spewed ashes and aerosols from the 1883 Krakatoa volcanic eruption in Indonesia are helping to block sunlight and reduce ocean temperature warming.

Good thing we have nature on our side.  ;-)

Global warming is caused by the sun, you idiots.

"In most cases, there is evidence that the methane values only began to rise several decades after the temperature started to climb."

Interesting indeed. This cooincides with data that shows CO2 increases that followed temperature spikes. If CO2 nd CH4 are "potent" "greenhoue gases", then the reverse would be true.

It appears that temperatre rises probably accelerated the state of decay for dead vegetation which then released CO2 and CH4 (the bulk of CH4 and CO2 does come from vegetation decay). Again, this points to something else causing the temperature spikes.

Gee, folks... ya think it might be the Sun and increases in the main "greenhouse gas", water vapor???

One of the troubling results of Arctic warming is the melting of vast areas of permafrost in North America and Siberia. When frozen Co2 and other gases are sequestered. When it melts significant amounts of Co2, and presumably other gases are produced.

Another troubling result of Arctic warming is the melting in summer of the Arctic ice cap. It has been shown by recently released classified nuclear submarine data that around half the thickness of ice has melted in the past 30 years. Currently this ice reflects energy back from the earth. Once it is gone the ocean will absorb heat from the sun further accelarating the warming process.

The warming was caused by these guys.

Didn't that happen with CO2 also?

There was a recent theory that giant gas bubbles were responsible for sinking ships in the Bermuda Triangle. Tests done in fancy simulators produced astounding results. The results indicated these bubbles could have brought down airplanes as well.

"Methane burps disproved? Gassy emissions no longer in suspect dock for melting the last ice age."

Guess why? Can't? I'll help.

So it must be the SUV's...causing the melting in the Artic.... /s

[Dustbunny]

Would be great if they could figure out a way to collect methane clathrate before it melts, bring it to the surface, contain it and use it.

[Ptarmigan]

I once heard frozen methane is responsble for disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle. Methane is poisonous and hence people who pilot airplanes and ships will lose control and it will crash.
