Scientists Discover Intense Heatwaves Lurking at The Bottom of The Ocean
Science Alert (via MSN.com) ^ | 19 March 2023 | Clare Watson

Posted on 03/20/2023 3:21:15 AM PDT by zeestephen

In 2013, a monstrous marine heatwave known as "The Blob" developed off the coast of Alaska... At one point, a buoy bobbing atop the ocean near Oregon detected frightening jumps in temperature of up to seven degrees Celsius in less than an hour...We need to recognize that burning fossil fuels is pushing ocean ecosystems to their limits. With Earth's oceans having now absorbed about 90 percent of the excess heat from global warming, marine heatwaves like The Blob are 20 times more likely to happen.

Volcanos are caused by excess freedom. The only solution is more Socialism. /s

All these green weenies should be deported to Greenland on the next available flight.
Mention global warming and win a free flight.

Horrid fear mongering....but they know it works. These people have no problem terrifying childeren.

Fear is a tool of tyrants. Always has been.

Warm water forms on the FLOOR of the ocean is caused by driving SUV’s.
No connection to volcanic activity

Also, I have never understood why the sea floor of deep oceans are not the same temperature as deep mine shafts.

Because water, air and rock each conduct heat differently.

...a WARM current of very high salinity will always sink below a COLD current of very low salinity. The effect of this reversal is still very small compared to the intensity of a volcanic vent eruption...

I was thinking to myself “what if the water was heavier?”
Then I thought “how would the water be heavier? I couldn’t figure it out immediately.

Then I read your reply! You saved me a lot of noodling!

But noodling has a degree of inertia, so it can’t be halted immediately.

So now I’m thinking “and warm water would dissolve more mineral content and tend to stay lower, and mineral content would precipitate out as it cooled, which in turn would be dissolved by the warmer zone, which in turn would sustain the separation...?

Would you call that “noodling hysteresis,”or is just an everyday brain fart?

Anyway, it’s nice to have a momentary diversion from the usual grim news here. Thanks to all.

[[When did the earth’s core stop being molten lava?]]

Right around around the Industrial revolution when man became responsible for everything that goes ‘wrong’ according to scientists

I would venture that having millions of tons of water overlaying the ocean bottom has a massive moderating effect.

Apparently we are supposed to beleive global warming is real because some Chinese made buoy tells us temperatures fluctuated? Are we just to take their word that the buoy is accurate and not dysfunctional?

And atmospheric co2 is right around 0.004% of the atmosphere. There is nowhere near enough co2 to blanket the world and prevent heat from escaping. Imagine going out into the frigid night wearing a patch of cloth that covered only 0.004% of your body? How much heat would that little patch retain?

The left want us to beleive co2 completely covers the globe in a thick blanket that lrevents any heat from escaping. It’s a lie.

The second law of thermodynamics states that in a natural thermodynamic process, the sum of the entropies of the interacting thermodynamic systems never decreases. A common corollary of the statement is that heat does not spontaneously pass from a colder body to a warmer body.

or heat moves from warm to cold

If the quake happens now, they’ll say it’s because of climate change.

So, humans are now responsible for undersea volcanos? Or, is these undersea regions absorbing and concentrating the alleged human-caused global warming into selected locations?
