Scripps Institution of Oceanography & Global Warming

A sign of global warming, scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography say the average surface temperature of the water at Scripps Pier in the California Current has increased by almost 3 degrees since 1950

OMG!

Fuckin' PANIC!!!

 

[Mr. H.]

What's the significance of Scripps Pier?

 

[Old Rocks]

More important, what is the significance of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography? Well, they and the Woods Hole Institution of Oceanography represent the two largest independent organizations studying the oceans of the world. So, what do they have to say about global warming?

If you understand the issue, then yes - you probably will.

If, on the other hand, your only interest here is political loyalty, then you are probably content to dismiss the science.

This article explains why you should be concerned:

Perhaps the ocean organism most vulnerable to temperature change is coral. There is evidence that reefs will bleach (eject their symbiotic algae) at even a slight persistent temperature rise. Bleaching slows coral growth, makes them susceptible to disease, and can lead to large-scale reef die-off.

Other organisms affected by temperature change include krill, an extremely important link at the base of the food chain. Research has shown that krill reproduce in significantly smaller numbers when ocean temperatures rise. This can have a cascading effect by disrupting the life cycle of krill eaters, such as penguins and seals—which in turn causes food shortages for higher predators.

you being a right wing idiot we can see how you'd have a knee jerk reaction like that, but for most of the world, hysteria, alarm, and panic is not our first response to a warning.

I thought it was "Climate Change" Does it make a fucking difference anymore?

In any event, that's local, that's not global

I still don't get Scripps Pier... do they toss a thermometer off the pier and read it?

poor Frankie, still unclear on concepts..

Global Warming and Oddball Winter Weather

Global warming is bringing a clear trend toward heavier precipitation events.

Many areas are seeing bigger and more intense snowstorms, especially in the upper Midwest and Northeast.

Global warming is shifting storm tracks northward. Areas from the Dakotas eastward to northern Michigan have seen a trend toward more heavy snowfall season.

You aren't the fastest brain on earth, are you Frank?

The term 'climate change' has been used for 25 years now.

And no, when global ocean teamperatures rise - it isn't local.

Scripps Institution of Oceanography & Global Warming

A sign of global warming, scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography say the average surface temperature of the water at Scripps Pier in the California Current has increased by almost 3 degrees since 1950

So? With the increased urbanisation I would expect it to get even warmer than that. I'm actually surprised it is so low.

Increased "urbanisation"(sic) since 1950 is heating the oceans???......by 3 degrees????.....ROTFLMAO......oh walleyed, I do believe you've hit a new low in sheer idiocy.....LOLOLOLOLOLOL.......try looking into the amount of thermal energy it takes to raise the temperature of a cubic foot of seawater by one degree....then study convective heat transfer in agitated liquids (like the oceans)....then consider the size/volume of the Earth's oceans compared to the size of Earth's cities......and the fact that most of any heat the cities produce goes into the atmosphere......you poor delusional retard.....grasping at such flimsy imaginary straws in your desperation over the immanent demise of your cult......

Geez if ya want something done around here...

I'd wondered that, too...but apparently they use robots...

The report is the first global comparison of temperature between the historic voyage of HMS Challenger (1872-1876) and modern data obtained by ocean-probing robots now continuously reporting temperatures via the global Argo program. Scientists have previously determined that nearly 90 percent of the excess heat added to Earth's climate system since the 1960s has been stored in the oceans. The new study, published in the April 1 advance online edition of Nature Climate Change and coauthored by John Gould of the United Kingdom-based National Oceanography Centre and John Gilson of Scripps Oceanography, pushes the ocean warming trend back much earlier.

Launched in 2000, the Argo program collects more than 100,000 temperature-salinity profiles per year across the world's oceans. To date, more than 1,000 research papers have been published using Argo's data set.

There are a few suitable locations off the coastal town of Morgan.
Why can't they use the Morgan Piers?

I used to value Scripps until I stopped buying drugs. That was when I found out they had nothing to do with Scripts

Independent? Does that mean that they don't get grant money?...from anywhere?


Oops....never mind. Seems that they aren't so independent at all. Big chunks of thieir money comes from the same corrupt pile that is financing the rest of climate science...then there is the money donated by foundations and individuals who have prominent seats on the AGW bandwagon.

That is a .33 degree increase...not 3.0. What is the margin of error in that claim by the way? More than the claimed change maybe?
