We mmust stop this consumption of a valuable resource...these critters are stealing food for all of our land based plants that supply us and our meat based life forms with food.

Now if they would just go back to teaching the carbon cycle in schools, and the water cycle, and the..............................

Models of carbon dioxide in the worlds oceans need to be revised, according to new work by UC Irvine and other scientists published online Sunday in Nature Geoscience. Trillions of plankton near the surface of warm waters are far more carbon-rich than has long been thought, they found. Global marine temperature fluctuations could mean that tiny Prochlorococcus and other microbes digest double the carbon previously calculated. Now, if they could just measure their respiration, excretion, and decomposition products, we might just be getting somewhere.

So we have to burn all that dirty oil and coal to “save the whales” . . . baleen whale feeders need the plankton to survive . . . yammering leftists need to understand that their clever arguments are no match for God’s wisdom, and it shows . . . it says as much in the Bible.

All of that climate science research money ought to be redirected....thing I would start with the shop that Dr James Hansen heads up.
Sent that Money to UC Irvine.

Back in the 1980s when I believed that AGW was real, I was proposing stimulating the growth of marine algae with which to feed Foraminifera as the only reasonable way to sequester massive amounts of carbon at reasonable cost.

What are Foraminifera?

Over hundreds of millions of years these tiny creatures have swarmed the ocean bestowing to the planet their exquisite dwellings, a smidgen of which was once fashioned into the Egyptian Pyramids

So they will admit they are full of it on the global warming thing? I bet not.

Foraminifera Gallery - illustrated catalog Welcome to the illustrated catalog of the Foraminifera.eu Project, which wants to build a link between science and community.Send us your sand or rock sample and we extract forams and shoot images for free.
Contact us
This project depends on both of you: Contribute as a scientist / Study foraminifera as a non-scientist
|
|
Foraminifera form a considerable part of Earth biomass and are in the fossil record since at least 542.000.000 B.C., but are mainly ignored by the public. With this non-commercial project we want to foster the interest in these precious and basal forms of life.

A type specimen is the original specimen from which the description of a new species is made. Thanks to Prof. Michael A. Kaminski and Dr. Claudia G. Cetean we are able to show 64 type specimens in the collections of the Natural History Museum London. [more]

The Plummercell Slide Collection of Karl-Otto Bock

Karl-Otto Bock collects since long foraminifera as a hobby. In the course of time he has produced 150+ plummercell slides. We found a way to bring his slides online showing each single field with just a click. [Check it out]

Index Foraminifera

Foraminifera are commonly used as index fossils, also called marker or guide fossils. An index foraminifera may indicate from which geological time the sedimentary rock is, the foraminifera is found in. We show easily recognizable species [more]
