How do they determine the age of the water?

[Arm_Bears]

So, is this Trump’s fault or not?

Somewhere in there is Lovecrafts nightmare city of R’lyeh, and sleeping Cthulhu.

Lovecraft got the location wrong though. It seems its in the North Pacific, not the far South.

Also, why isnt this thing in climate models?

[Hot Tabasco]

When this isolated shadow zone traps millennia old ocean water it also traps nutrients and carbon which have a direct impact on the capacity of the ocean to modify climate over centennial timescales,"

Such water trapped in that zone over the alleged millenia would be stagnant and devoid of any life whatsoever........

That water ain't trapped, it's subject to typical underwater currents just as the rest of the ocean is..........

fyi

"It's called the "shadow zone" and it lies around two kilometres below the surface in an ocean abyss"

Now what is it that that reminds me of?

Oh, now I remember...

"...it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone."

"Water from 400AD"

That should be AD 400. AD = anno domini = Year of Our Lord.

Thus: The Year of Our Lord, 400.

With BC (Before Christ) it's the opposite: 400 BC.

(And, yes I know that liberals like to use BCE and CE instead. Don't get me started on that)

[ETL]

Most of the atoms in our bodies date back more than 13.5 billion years. Hydrogen predates the stars. It was created at or soon after the beginning of the universe.

H₂O

[Fungi]

They really need a life down under. Go out and look for some mushrooms instead of wasting ink on this inane, superfluous drivel.

[teeman8r]

Traps carbon, but is detrimental to the climate? These guys are blaming everything for climate change

[Rebelbase]

All kinds of strange stuff trapped there.

[TigersEye]

...traps nutrients and carbon which have a direct impact on the capacity of the ocean to modify climate ...

Way to throw your entire study into the fringe kook file, dumbass!

[TonyM]

There are FDA mandatory content lables required for each molecule of H2O now. That may be where they found the date of manufacture. I always check it when I use a public water fountain, nothing like getting a mouth full of outdated water. But seriously, isn’t all water really millions of years old?

[GingisK]

Quick, someone convince me that there is “new” water on this planet.

[Duchess47]

What happened in AD400 that “trapped” the water?

[SamAdams76]

Now I can tell my wife I'm not crazy. We buy lots of bottled water but I toss it out if it's been in the house longer than six months. No way am I having stale bottled water in the house.

Fresh water only!

[1FreeAmerican]

I drink 18,000 year old water.
Yes I said 18,000 years old.
Straight out of the tap. It is so delicious and pure.

[Verginius Rufus]

What I don’t understand is how the Goths managed to trap the water. They were nowhere near the Pacific Ocean.
