So if NOAA satellite maps were to see or record something like a large pool of oil at any depth in the Gulf of Mexico its the fault of obsolete equipment?
Interesting.
Why didn’t you scuttle Ava back when I spray-painted her? Now you’re all warmed up and the glaciers have melted and the polar bears are on icebergs ....
Doing the global warming other Americans won't.

The bubbles are steam, not air. There is a difference.

Sounds like NOAA is in some hot water.

Mine is cooling down from canning another 6 pints of green beans, I love it!
They have safety features now, it’s great for everything from a pot of beans to stocking up on foods that we grow ourselves (those green beans, stewed tomatoes, bean with bacon soup, etc., etc., etc.!).
I’m looking at Lake Michigan right now, and I can assure you it is nowhere near boiling. It’s a nice, cool evening, perfect for a glass of 12 year old scotch.
Just some crickets, an occasional coyote and the clink of ice on a glass.
We added a new one this past year, and noted that there were a couple of new wrinkles our old [1970s] one doesn't have...and the old one has safeties that my grandmother's [1930/40s] didn't.

I’m sure that TPTB use the carrot, but they also use a stick to beat the climate scientists into line. The “deniers” lose tenure, grants, esteem, etc. Destroy the lives and reputations of a few of them, and the cowards fall into line.
The bubbles are water vapour (water in its gaseous state). Because the bubbles are less dense than liquid water they rise to the surface and escape to the air. The visible steam is the water vapour re-condensing to its liquid state on contact with the cooler air above the kettle or sauce pan.
The full rolling boil is achieved when all of the water in the kettle achieves the boiling point. That is the point at which you make tea, If you don,t and forget to take the water off the heat, it maintains the boilint point temperature and continues to emit steam until the pressure sensor on the kettle trips. If there is no pressure sensor (as in an old fashioned kettle or a sauce pan or the lid on the kettle was not fully closed) then eventually all of the water boils off. This is not a desirable state of affairs to happen in your kitchen.
"I’m looking at Lake Michigan right now, and I can assure you it is nowhere near boiling."
Yes, I had rather thought so,
I am having my tea and scones while looking at Lake Ontario. It is not boiling either.
C’mon, just admit you’re just lying when you say that the lakes aren’t boiling at at least 604 degrees F RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE!

While it’s obvious to the most casual, non-AGW person, that this is probably nothing more than a misplaced decimal point, or an instrument with serious need of calibration, I can see the AGW drones going ballistic over this.
It was predicted 50 years ago by a very wise man.
Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades. In this revolution, research has become central, it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.
Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.
The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present – and is gravely to be regarded.
Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.

Wow! and the so-called intellectuals thought this man was stupid.
But it’s a wet heat.
