Ocean Warming Accelerating Quicker than Thought

[AvgGuyIA]

Scientists say the warming of the world’s oceans is accelerating more quickly than previously thought, a finding with dire implications for climate change because almost all of the heat trapped by greenhouse gases ends up stored in oceans.

A new analysis, published Thursday in the journal Science, found that the oceans are heating up 40 percent faster on average than a United Nations panel estimated five years ago. The researchers also concluded that ocean temperatures have broken records for several straight years.

“2018 is going to be the warmest year on record for the Earth’s oceans,” said Zeke Hausfather, an energy systems analyst at the independent climate research group Berkeley Earth and an author of the study. “As 2017 was the warmest year, and 2016 was the warmest year.”

As the planet has warmed, the oceans have provided a critical buffer, slowing the effects of climate change by absorbing 93 percent of the heat trapped by human greenhouse gas emissions. But the escalating water temperatures are already killing off marine ecosystems, raising sea levels and making hurricanes more destructive.

Ocean Warming Is Accelerating Faster Than Thought, New Research Finds
***********************************************************************************************************

Just more evidence of the undeniable, irrefutable, uncontestable, indisputable, incontrovertible and unquestionable proof of global warming.

The usual suspects will come here and tell us not to believe our lying eyes or to deny the overwhelming scientific evidence of climate change.

They will spout the same shit I have heard for the past 50 years starting with the clean air and water acts and going through tobacco, acid rain and cfcs, i.e the science is unsettled, it will destroy industry, etc. One thing all these opponents of these laws had in common was that these obstructionists were all proved wrong as they are today.

Remember do not vote for anyone any one that denies the science of climate change. Future generations are depending on you.

There is no such thing as global warming.

"Quicker than thought"? Thought by whom, Carl Sagan or pervert hypocrite Al Gore? Twenty five years ago global warming pundits predicted the end of the world by 2012 and then they changed the threat from "global warming" to "climate change" but here we are preparing for another winter storm south of the Mason/Dixon line today. They are enjoying festivities in an entire town created out of ice in China as we speak. Is China the only area not experiencing global warming?

Earth has been warming and cooling for a LONG time. Settle down spaz.

What an idiotic comment. Never this fast. Get an education.

What an idiotic comment. Never this fast.

Really? When was the second fastest century of heating? Link?

Clever point. I get where youre going with this line of questioning.

Faked data, fudged numbers....LOL Ocean "trapped" the heat LOL

LOL

How does atmospheric heat get trapped in the oceans?

The oceans absorb the CO2 which in turn heats it up which also increases the oceans' acidification.

The oceans absorb the CO2 which in turn heats it up

Really? How does the dissolved CO2 cause the water to warm up? Be specific.

which also increases the oceans' acidification.

Warmer water holds less dissolved CO2.

CO2 almost instantly disassociates in water as well and loses it magical deep ocean heat trapping properties

Oh yeah, professor? And who taught you that?

That's not why the oceans are warming. But that is why they are becoming more acidic.

No,by oceanographers and climate scientists. What a stupid question that was.

Why are the oceans "warming"?

The oceans collect heat from land and air that circulate against it. Also the sun shines on it and heats the CO2 that has been increasing in it.

Great news.
If this keeps up I won't have to swap out my SodaStream cylinders anymore.

Which ones are those?


The 'Little Ice Age' hundreds of years ago is STILL cooling the bottom of Pacific, researchers find

• The Little Ice Age brought colder-than-average temps around the 17th century
• Researchers say temperatures in deep Pacific lag behind those at the surface
• As a result, parts of the deep Pacific is now cooling from long ago Little Ice Age

You forgot to make your point. Do you have one? Did you read a word of that article? How is it relevant to the topic? Use clear language. Thanks.

 

[Godboy]

Earth has been warming and cooling for a LONG time.

Scientists and history books.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Scientists and history books.

Scientists, eh? What kind of scientists? Climate scientists? Geologists? Meteorologists? Oceanographers? All of the above?

And why would you make the absurd implication that they are operating under the ignorance of their own bodies of science? Doesn't such a patently absurd claim embarrass you?

I'm more interested in the science behind the claim, "The oceans absorb the CO2 which in turn heats it up"

Help a brother out?

From your link:


"As much of the ocean responds to the rising temperatures of today’s world, the deep, dark waters at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean appear to be doing the exact opposite.....

As expected, the comparisons showed most of the world’s ocean has been warming up over the last century."

Thank you for proving my point.

Have you not heard of ice ages? Our planet has been warming and cooling for a LONGGGGGGG time.
