A new study by MIT has revealed that the quantities of nitrous oxide (N2O), otherwise known as laughing gas, being released by the world's oceans has been dramatically underestimated. Heightened levels of N2O have the potential to seriously influence the health of our planet's ozone layer, as the gas is around 300 times more potent than the more prevalent menace of carbon dioxide emissions.

The Russians actually figured out why the earth cools and warms and why Artic ice thins despite cold surface temperatures. It has to do with the relative activity of deep sea volcanoes or smokers that the Russians mapped under the Artic Ocean and in other locations.

No wonder the Dolphins have such hi-pitched voices. The same for whales. They’re “high” on NO2, “laughing gas”.

Laugh, and the whole world laughs with you!

#5: Ban bacteria farts!

Create “No Farting” Zones in the Ocean. Hey, that’s one way of keeping Obama and Michelle out of the Hawaiian waters.

Might also key her safe from errant whaling ships.

I think the “climate scientists” have been inhaling too much nitrous oxide.

Yeh, drain the ocean. We must destroy the oceans to save the world. It’s Al’s next book.

Cover the oceans with big sheets of plastic to keep the nirtous and water vapor from escaping.

Recycled plastic would be even more the environmentally responsible.

This article is a mishmash and scarcely comprehensible. It appears to conflate supposed global warming with danger to the ozone layer. It says the nitrogen comes from agriculture without giving even a hint of what fraction that might be. In all, almost completely useless, except to generate a search for an article that makes sense without an agenda.

Oh yeah, and the “fragile atmosphere” is not fragile, but resilient.

laughing gas

It's obviously having no effect, since liberals still have absolutely no sense of humor.

No problem. Just wait until the tide goes out....then there is less water and everything is just fine again.
