Poor “paid” scientists...always looking for a scape goat to cover their lying a**** AND their own ignorance.

The rain forest has one of the highest CO2 levels on earth.

[Carry_Okie]

This article opens up a whole new vista into the relationship between CO2 levels, oceanic plant growth and the complex relationships that we have yet to learn about in the field of climate science. If phytoplankton respond like most plant species do, we may find that the modest increases in CO2 levels we have experienced over the last 50 years may actually create a bounty of micro plant growth in the oceans, which would in turn create the food supply necessary to support an increase in the oceans’ animal population.

This phenomenon has been known for over 100 years and confirmable by experiment for at least that long. Meanwhile, dinoflagellates that eat algae are the primary carbon sink for the whole planet.

And they're telling us they haven't yet taken this mechanism into account? Really???

These creeps belong on a prison farm pulling weeds.

Zooplankton eat phytoplankton. Fish and sea mammals (whales, etc.) eat zooplankton. Food chain expands, ergo more phytoplankton, more larger fish, more food.

You mean God built a mechanism that allows the ecology to balance itself and return to a state of equilibrium? Wow! Who’d a thunk it?

The Agulhas Current

**************************************EXCERPT***********************************

Agulhas Current, a warm surface current of the Indian Ocean. It is a branch of the South Equatorial Current. North of southern Madagascar it is known as the Mozambique Current. The Agulhas Current flows southwestward along the southeastern and southern coast of Africa. It is deflected eastward and southeastward at Cape Agulhas by the cold Benguela Current. The Agulhas is one of the world's strongest ocean currents, with a speed of up to 1.4 miles per hour (2.3 km/h).

What kind of “scientists” is this such a revelation to??

Let’s see:

Green plants, on land or in the ocean, love and absorb CO2, retaining the carbon from it for growth and respirating the oxygen (that much of the animal kingdom needs).

Why would not more atmospheric CO2 (a) be a boon to the growth of green plants, on land and in the oceans, and (b) create the condition (more green plants) that would absorb more of the atmospheric CO2???

Logic says there would be no mystery to such an outcome.

Maybe too many “scientists” today did not choose courses in logic when they attended college. Maybe they didn’t even acquire logic skills before college.
