The Earth naturally goes through Hot and cold cycles. Without input from Humans.!

[ding]

So what do we do about it?

I don't believe there is anything that can be done about it. This isn't Star Trek.

Weather/climate is driven by differences. Primarily uneven heating (polar regions vs equatorial region) which nothing can be done about. Uneven heating leads to differences in salinity/density - which nothing can be done about - which leads to changes in currents. If salinity or density or heat differences exist you can bet your bottom dollar that nature is going to figure out a way to equilibrate.

I thought God helps those that help themselves? I think you underestimate the influence man could have if he worked cooperatively.

Within reason, sure. I'm all ears if you have any ideas. I don't believe man can reverse natural processes. The scale is too big.

Man reverses natural processes every day. No scale is too big if the determination and cooperation are there.

Great, then tell me how you would alter the ocean currents.

Why are they changing. If they are changing due to lower water temperatures, heat the water. If the opposite, cool the water.

Density differences due to increased meltwater and thermal expansion. It's called thermohaline circulation.

Not sure how practical heating or cooling the ocean is. Actually I am sure but am being nice.

It may be a lack of imagination on your part. A minute of thought tells me painting a ping pong ball black and letting it float in the ocean would act as a solar collector and warm the water nearby. Terribly inefficient but a cheap enough solution to do it a few billion times. Water bottles filled with dyed water may also do the trick. And I'm not an engineer, imagine what they might come up with. If you can.

Lots of trash in the ocean and zero impact on ocean currents.

But you should read up on the thermohaline current.

Obviously too random and not enough.

I understand density thank you, I enjoy a nice Black and Tan.

What's too random and not enough?

But do you understand thermohaline circulation and the critical role it plays in the planet's climate?

 

[alang1216]

The garbage you cited.

But do you understand thermohaline circulation and the critical role it plays in the planet's climate?

Yes.

 

[ding]

Yes.

Really? Garbage? That you thought adding heat to the ocean would solve the problem just proves you didn't understand the problem. So what I said was probably the kindest thing I could have said and still convey it was a bad idea.

You say you understand it but given what you just said makes me think you still don't.

I hear a lot of people talking about Human global warming. I ask them are they aware that the Earth has been going through Hot and cold cycles for billions of years, without any human input what so ever!!? There where times millions of years ago when the entire Earth was very tropical, and hot. And also times when a lot of the Earth was covered by ice.!?! We must stop accepting this Human global warming scam, that is being reported by these carbon tax scammers.!!??

Who claims they were unaware that the Earth has been going through Hot and cold cycles for billions of years?

There's a proposed $3 Trillion ANNUALLY to be directed to climate "scientist" For that, they will say ANYTHING
