Also, I have never understood why the sea floor of deep oceans are not the same temperature as deep mine shafts.
South Africa has the deepest mines in the world. At 10,000 feet, the walls of a mine at that level are 150 degrees F. They need to use tons of ice water every hour to cool the air enough for men to work down there.
The average depth of Earth's oceans is 10,000 feet. I have never understood why the sea floor is not radiating 150 degree F heat into the ocean above it.
I actually read the article. They don’t have any real evidence but they have models. Great. Their “model’s are saying the oceans store heat at the bottom. Makes perfect sense as long as you ignore the fundamental fact heat rises.
More catastrophes looming, we will all die......give us more money to do research, build more models and create more scare articles.
Science blinded by $$$$$$$
They key takeway here is “give up your filthy, nasty cars to save the planet.”
Yeah, lotta apophenia in that one! The results of indoctrination over education.
Someone should tell Clare Watson that the Chinese and the Indians are building coal power plants like there's no tomorrow.
And also tell her to shut her ignorant yap, and get in the kitchen and make me a sammich.
Ah ha, my loquacious weatherman Bastardi is right again.
Wait another 20 years, and they’ll discover the earth’s core is molten lava. Science huh?
I’m not a scientist but I think water that deep responses differently than solids like rocks. The carbon dioxide that great deeps turn into a kind of dry ice too.
Could also rocks are closer to the Earth’s mantle.
But don’t take my wode on it, I only got a high school science education.
Water dissolving and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water
Remove the water from the bottom of the ocean
But I will need a grant to further explore this hypothesis.
Water is most dense at 4 degrees Celsius and thus sinks to the bottom of the ocean. Water warned by the heat of the earth’s crust rises.
“Of course - volcanic activity, sea floor spreading, and smoker vents have almost NOTHING to do with the excess heat”
Any unexplained temp variations MUST be blamed on GW. That’s the rule. The temp anomaly and its effects happened in 2013-2016, why report it now?
Scientists discover intense ignorance lurking at (FILL IN THE BLANK).
A blob of heat lurking at the bottom of the ocean??
Is this the well known scientific principal where warmer water falls to the bottom of colder water?
I actually read a similar story a few years ago. The warmer water was supposedly ‘trapped’ at the bottom of the ocean. How? Warm or cold, it’s liquid. It will go where it wants, and warm water wants to rise.
Totally impossible unless it is an error of the buoy or vulcanism at depth.
Stupid hypothesis. The heat is from the BOTTOM of the water, and induced by volcanic vents, NOT by magically being transferred from surface to the depths Warm water always rises, not the reverse. This can be countered by the degree of salinity of the water, in that 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.
Don't invite those yo-yos into your house! They'd announce they had detected a frightening and sudden jump in the temperature of one of your skillets and demand you immediately stop exhaling carbon dioxide.
Hell? It’s hot. It’s down in that neck of the woods.
Remember the explosion and fire on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010? It caused an oil well drilled at the bottom of the Gulf to spew millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf (135 million, to be exact). There were numerous videos of oil spewing out of the wellhead at a depth of 5000 feet. The videos also showed that the temperature there was well below the freezing point of fresh water.
If you look at a map of the Gulf, It's surrounded on three sides by land (Mexico, Brazil, and the USA). The fourth side is blocked by Cuba, and the shallow waters around it. The surface is warm above it, and the ocean bottom is warm below it. So, where did the cold water come from? The answer is that the cold water could only have come from one or the other of the poles, the North Pole, or the South Pole. It's warmer every else. So YES, cold water sinks, and it also moves around quite a bit due to ocean currents.
When the open ocean gets to about 30 degrees C, 86 degrees F, evaporation removes the “excess heat,” it never makes it to the abyssal depths.
SUV submarines.
I assume this will cause global warming on odd-numbered days, and global cooling on even-numbered days. Correct? So, the “lurking” heatwave will just keep everything equal over time.
