You right wing nuts need to realize that this is undoubtedly bad news ... because even though plankton reduces carbon dioxide ... this newly discovered batch is emitting its own toxic gasses ... and increasing global warming ... and are killing fish ... and enlarging the hole in the ozone layer ... and destroying rain forests ... and causing a hydrocarbon spill in the fragile arctic environment ... and leading to mass extinctions ... and it's all because you selfish pigs continue to drive your SUV's and use power lawn mowers ... which is why we need much more government funded research ... and a carbon tax!

As for myself and some others I speak to, science has lost it’s credibility. The cataclysmic rise of the oceans did not happen, the significant loss of Himalayan ice didn’t happen. Now we are not surprised that we are not all doing to die from the loss of phytoplankton. Global warming extremism and a few pharmaceutical disappointments have caused a bit of distrust.

Obama gave a directive to NASA head, its mission is ‘moooooslem outreach’.

Keep JPL as academic affiliate, shrink 90% of rest of NASA, the work they do nowadays doesn’t amount to a lot of beans.

"A Canadian team said in the journal Nature, as The Times reported in July 2010, that the world's phytoplankton had been disappearing at a rate of about 1% a year for the previous 100 years.

"A global decline of this magnitude? It's quite shocking," Daniel Boyce,"

Ok Danny boy.. help me out here.

1. Either you suck at math or the phytoplankton is now gone.

Or...

2. That the percentage of biomass is reduced by 1% per year over the total 100 years based on some made up arbitrary number of what you think the total mass was to begin with.

Or...

3. You're just talking out your butt.

I'm picking number 3.

NASA has revealed its discovery of a massive collection of American SUVs under a slowly diminishing cloud cover -- a finding that made scientists' eyes pop. But does this never-before-so-many-in-such-a-small-area phenomenon seal the fate of mankind.. er, personkind?

Yes! warned aged 1960s spoiled brat Al Gore

Here’s another, I think more informative, link to a ScienceNow article printed in the Anchorage Daily News: http://www.adn.com/2012/06/08/2496664/scientific-expedition-discovers.html

Never seen before is NOT the same as never happened before.

OMG, OMG, Mother Nature did something we didn’t predict and don’t understand but it is bad and we are all going to die if we don’t get a huge grant to study it. /algore rant

[DaxtonBrown]

Did anyone notice that losing 1% of photoplankton a year for a hundred years adds up to 100%?

The best part of the article is the picture of al with a tree growing out of his head. The photographer knew exactly what he/she was doing.

The heaviest ice pack in the history of satellite observations and they’re worried about retreating ice?

"The question becomes, if we take our current finding ... does it change that global picture," she said. "That's one of the things the science team is going to have to look at. ... It most certainly changes what we thought was happening in the Arctic."

So basically they were as wrong as you could get but somehow this will still be "validation" of global warming which is perpetuated by big oil and other fossil fuels according to Lord Democrats.

"It's premature to say if it's good news or bad news," Bontempi said. First scientists must get their arms around this discovery

In other words, 'it's too soon to tell how we can spin it to the liberal's advantage as we cannot let any good 'discovery' go to waste'.

"Things are happening on this planet that we never knew existed."

But yet the liberals want to dictate a course of action and that mankind is causing the damage. Liberals will never admit they have no clue how the earth can heal itself and that there is even a higher power known as God.

That picture of Al Gore pointing reminds me of the scene in the Shining when Haloran is having a vision of the Overlook Hotel when he is down in Miami FL and hears a weather report on tv of huge snowfall in Colorado where the Overlook is located. In this vision you see Danny also in this vision too,(not sure if they were communicating with each other or not) but the image of Danny Torrence where he is in this state of consciousness or whatever, it looks like the same expression.

WOW! What a wonderful sight. Just imagine how much oil this algae will generate when Obozo’s green energy loons figure out how to do it!!!!!
