Scientists are currently studying how human-driven climate change is altering the Southern Ocean

[Steely Tom]

And Pluto is no longer a planet.

[lee martell]

I can only name four without ‘accidentally’ Goggling it first.
a. Pacific Ocean
b. Atlantic Ocean
c. Indian Ocean
d. (new!) Southern Ocean
c. TBA

[Carriage Hill]

Waste of effort and money.
Ol’ Sol controls the Erf; nothing else does.

[BuffaloJack]

Ok, I thought we always had 5. Arctic, Indian, Antarctic, Atlantic and Pacific.

[reg45]

Hey, let’s be consistent. It’s either Arctic Ocean and Antarctic Ocean or Northern Ocean and Southern Ocean.

[Huskrrrr]

5. Ocean Of Debt

[Chode]

Somebody, got a new job...

[Rebelbase]

In every sailing magazine I’ve read over the past 25 years The Roaring 40s have always been referred to as the Southern Ocean.

[DFG]

What about Billy Ocean?

[setter]

Southern Ocean. Will it secede one day and fight the oceans of Northern aggression?

[freedumb2003]

The new ocean should be named "Billy"

[Political Junkie Too]

The Southern Ocean has long been recognized by scientists

It was a big mistake to say that. They should have said:

Instead of raising the oceans like we said, we discovered that all the melt went into a new ocean that we're calling the Southern Ocean.

I’m sorry but that is the most idiotic thing I have heard out of the ‘scientific’ community all day. They are just changing it’s name to Southern Ocean as if that makes any difference at all to anything what so ever.

And it is making headlines.

Well, they are globull warming alarmist and they have to accomplish something.

[Fiji Hill]

I still maintain:

• There are four oceans--the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian and Arctic.

• Pluto is a planet.

• Mt. McKinley is the highest point in North America.

[ConservativeInPA]

Call it social equity. Isn't that the term these leftists use? They trade Pluto for an ocean. Really mess up old people who learned correctly and destroy their credibility with all of the little face-diaper wearing Marxists hiding behind plexiglass barriers.

By the way, National Geographic is the publisher of FauxChi's novel, err, book. They have been pimping climate change and total BS for 30+ years now. Zero credibility, but if you go into any elementary school you'll find their propaganda all over the place. And none of it has anything to do with geography.

[faithhopecharity]

if the :southern ocean: is somehow legit, given that it is NOT even partially separated from the Indian, Pacific, or Atlantic Oceans.....

certainly it is time to recognize Pluto again!

[Jyotishi]

It’s all one BIG ocean. To divide it is raciss!

[Renfrew]

This seems a pretty silly idea. The other oceans can be clearly defined by narrow straights separating them. Southern Ocean boundary is a straight line around the earth.

[Tallguy]

So oceans are being devalued?

[BuchananBrigadeTrumpFan]

We need asterisks for which science(s) are settled and which are not.
