fyi
That is one hell of an anti-carbon footprint.
Can we throw Al Gore into the carbon sink and see if he floats?
Those unintended consequences will get you every time.
Buff Boffins on Baffin See Light for Puffins?.................
It’s those boffins again.
I’m always chuffed when I see the yobs at the Register use terms like “boffins.”
I have these carbon credits for sale, just $20/ton.
LOL...!
Did you do time on the Register?
Well good luck with that. I just em on EBAY at 4.95/ton. Looks like the market is tanking. Will be in penny stock territory before you know it.
Boffin: a person engaged in scientific or technical research : a computer boffin.
marking....
You know, I think that a "tonne" is a metric ton, 1000 kGrams, or 2200 pounds.
So, if you bought them by the tonne, and sold them by the ton, you might make a killing...
One of a great many “negative feedback” climate mechanisms, which the AGW alarmists deny exist.
This phenomenon has been known for decades. The ENTIRE ocean is a huge reservoir for excess carbon sink or absorption. As ocean waters warm, you always have algae blooms and the microscopic plants that require C02 for photosynthesis. The carrying capacity of the oceans to absorb excess C02 is 100’s of times greater than the atmosphere. This is just another scientific fact to disprove the C02 global warming hysteria.
The earth is a highly complex bio-diversity engine. The global warming fanatics are nothing but eco-religious zealots and their arguments have no basis in facts or scientific theory.
Ah, “negative feedback”.
It appears that the loons in the “global warming fool-em department” have not discovered this bit of control theory.
“Can we throw Al Gore into the carbon sink and see if he floats?”
Only if it’s a sink with a garbage disposal at the drain.
Then, I get to pull the plug (since s*it floats, we’ll have to), turn on the switch, and enjoy the results.
This NASA Aqua satellite image shows clouds of phytoplankton thrivng in cold, nutrient-rich waters off Greenland in 2003. Global warming has been blamed for the alarming loss of ice shelves in Antarctica, but a new study says newly-exposed areas of sea are now soaking up some of the carbon gas that causes the problem.
