This is an important discovery for understanding the carbon cycle in the oceans and why they are such an efficient carbon sink. Unlike some environmental scientists historical concern about the build up of CO2 in the depths waiting to catastrophically explode with further warming into the atmosphere no such buildup has been found. Instead the hydrothermal vents act as a super sink.

So... one of the major elements included in the “we’re all gonna die” global warming models is no longer what the model makers thought it was? Isn’t that what I’m reading between the lines?

Ping.

Co-author, Dr Doug Connelly from the NOC, said: "This work finally gives us a mechanism for the deep ocean carbon cycle, addressing the long standing problem of why the DOC in the world's oceans is not increasing."

The warming crowd will claim this is proof of the danger of CO2. The oceans are not storing extra carbon, so that carbon is available for global warming.

Of course, this study actually reveals that scientists really have no idea of the role of the oceans in carbon storage and in global warming. Since oceans cover 70% of the globe, that is an issue they carefully avoid.

The vast surface and amazing depths of the oceans defy meaningful temperature and chemical data collection. Science is blind regarding the influence of oceans on our climate.

Here I thought I was going to read something interesting about flatulating whales. But instead I get an article about hydrothermal vents. Boo...

[Vesparado]

Sure glad they solved this one. I’ve been laying awake nights worrying about it ...
