(CNN)The world's oceans are now heating at the same rate as if five Hiroshima atomic bombs were dropped into the water every second, scientists have said.
A new study released on Monday showed that 2019 was yet another year of record-setting ocean warming, with water temperatures reaching the highest temperature ever recorded.

There are 86,400 seconds in a day. Take that number and times it by 5 (432,000 Hiroshima’s a day) and then times that by 365 days which equals 1,576,800,000.
B.S.
If you sample the seawater directly above an undersea volcano; possibly yes. In the open sea with no underwater volcanic activity; it’s a bleep lie!
“Were a microscopic speck on a microscopic speck going around a microscopic speck thats in a galaxy of billions of galaxies and they think we can change anything? The powers that be have a very enlarged opinion of themselves.”
And that is the reality in the bigger scope of things.
Whoa... I wonder how long the CNN focus group spent before coming up with that one. And I wonder what all the other terms were that the group had on the white board for consideration.
Impossible.
And even if it was happening....it would be impossible to fix.
Not hard to fix...impossible.
Funny you should say that. I feel asleep in my chair watching TV last night and when I woke up at some faint hour of the early morning there was some smithsonian program on attacking fossil fuel and how it releases all this ‘ancient carbon’ and my eyes immediately started to roll because carbon is always the target. But they blamed it for ocean acidification and I always thought carbon was more of a neutral/base than an acid. So if you want to attack coal for it’s sulfur content, I get that. But these arguments surrounding carbon always seem suspicious.
Ironically, they also mentioned that in the last 50 years CO2 has increased 40% but methane has increased 100%... which I did not know so I would verify it before just trusting some TV program, but I’ve always used methane as a good example of a compound with real greenhouse properties. CO2 has negligible greenhouse properties compared to methane and according to them methane has increased a lot more. Shouldn’t this be the focus of all the news and propaganda rather than CO2?
It’s always CO2. Strange.
“I did a calculation ... the amount of heat we have put in the world’s oceans in the past 25 years equals to 3.6 billion Hiroshima atom-bomb explosions”
Good grief. The stupid hurts.
Lions, Tigers & Bears...Oh my!
It looks like Global Cooling, to me.
Or as they say in Detroit...
Lions, Tigers, Pistons & Red Wings.....Oh my!
:)
Still can’t compare with 5 Michael Moore bombs.
omg—Is Obama safe on Martha’s Vineyard?
Is it safe?
Is it safe?
Is it safe?

Once upon a time, environmental activists claimed that they wanted to save the planet for the children. Now they want to save the planet from the children.

The best Q.
First, “ocean acidification” is a misnomer. The pH of ocean water averages around 8.1. A measurement greater than 7 is considered alkaline. There is much less credible evidence that anthropogenic CO2 is having any measurable affect on the average pH of ocean water than its affects on ocean temperatures.
The oceans have always acted as a vast storage medium for CO2 from the atmosphere, limestone deposits and underwater volcanic activity. When ocean water cools it absorbs more CO2 and when it warms it releases CO2. This creates another obvious paradigm that alarmists are completely oblivious to... It is the most likely explanation for the observation that atmospheric CO2 levels in the past have always risen after warmer periods and decreased after cooler periods.
I would remind you that in previous periods in the earth's history that CO2 levels were many times greater than the amounts that we have today with no known detrimental effects to sea life or the "food chain" during those time periods. All life on the earth is dependent on CO2 and the atmospheric levels in our not so distant past went so low as to have been a threat to both plant and animal life. So please do not waste your energy worrying about nonsense made up by the fertile minds of leftist idiots who completely ignore both data and the physical properties of substances such as sea water.
