Thanks Army Air Corps. It's almost as if a gas won't sink to the bottom of a miles-deep ocean. Weird that it behaves according to physical laws, rather than the cuckoo-fantasyland of AGW.

A crucial process has been identified to explain the reason why dissolved organic carbon (DOC) levels in the deep oceans are constant despite a continuous supply from the surface ocean. This research has been published today in the journal Nature Geoscience and was conducted by scientists from the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) and The University of Southampton.
Dr Jeff Hawkes, the lead author of this study, from the NOC said: "There has been a long outstanding question about whether hydrothermal vents are a source or sink of organic carbon to the oceans. We have shown that hydrothermal vent fluids contain almost none of the organic carbon which accumulates in the oceans, which means that vents are a sink for this unreactive 'stored' carbon."

So... one of the major elements included in the “we’re all gonna die” global warming models is no longer what the model makers thought it was? Isn’t that what I’m reading between the lines?
Ping.
The warming crowd will claim this is proof of the danger of CO2. The oceans are not storing extra carbon, so that carbon is available for global warming.
Of course, this study actually reveals that scientists really have no idea of the role of the oceans in carbon storage and in global warming. Since oceans cover 70% of the globe, that is an issue they carefully avoid.
The vast surface and amazing depths of the oceans defy meaningful temperature and chemical data collection. Science is blind regarding the influence of oceans on our climate.
This study doesn’t fit the climate change dogma so this study will be ignored.
But is my assumption correct?
We are learning. There are some that will make erroneous conclusions based on limited knowledge but that also is part of the process of science and a major reason not to limit studies because of “settled science”. If the limited knowledge ever becomes the end of the line due to political pressure unintended consequences are likely.
Yes, that and that climate has many aspects that inevitably cause change. This also has implications for the place of hydrothermal vents in the origins of hydrocarbons essential to life.
Exactly! The global-warming sham artists have constructed a theory about a 10,000 piece, 3D, jigsaw puzzle by putting together some of the edge pieces. The interior of the puzzle? Those pieces are still in the box, unsorted.
Nutjobs. All of them.
Sure glad they solved this one. I’ve been laying awake nights worrying about it ...
Gaia farts!
Virtually unreadable. Written by some kind of dyslexic mutant. I’m going to search for something written in coherent English on this subject.

Amazing that, ain't it.
I’m sure that’s Velikovsky’s fault too. ;’)
Must be. . . he was absolutely right about Venus. . . he must be the Casandra about this as well. I wonder if they will see he was right about Mars, now.
they'll use a hammer, or hockey stick, to make them fit. . . it they don't fit where they want, keep pounding until they do.
Just imagine the complex equation that is necessary to accurately describe the Earth's climate. Millions of nonlinear variables.
It is not a trivial thing yet they would have us believe that they have it nailed and it is a done deal.
Not to worry. It was your tax dollars that were “laying awake” working on this very important discovery. You can sleep knowing that it was money well spent.
