In Outlook for Oceans Bleak as Sea 'Deserts' Grow, NPR attributes the "dead zone" to Global Warming but...

...On March 19, NPR broadcasts The Mystery of Global Warming's Missing Heat. NPR informs the public that the Oceans are not warming but cooling.

So the real mystery is the lack of intelligence at NPR.

Dead Zone is another enviro buzzword that got some play a couple weeks ago. They need everything in their old pollution toolchest to replace Global Warming since that horse died.

[Army Air Corps]

There is no mystery about the lack of intelligence at NPR. Their radio hosts are actually androids who repeat whatever TPF (Talking Point File) that is fed into them. At present, Algore is responsible for creating the TPFs related to the environment.

If it's linked to global warming, as they suspect...

You could knock me over with a feather.

[Hardastarboard]

tiny green phytoplankton in the ocean are a critical foodstuff for life in the oceans.

This has all happened since the "Save the Whales" movement, and I know why. Whales eat like Americans, and consume more calories than they really need. They're killing off the plankton with their greed. That, and they tend to vote Republican. I say we start hunting them again to reduce their numbers, before we end up with McCain for President because of this voting bloc.

/insane liberal enviro rant (note - I might have actually been able to post this at DU and get away with it, mostly by blaming the whales for being Republicans).

A trend that started more than a century ago, when human CO2 output was insignificant, is clearly driven by something other than AGW nonsense.

He says marine scientists using more primitive instruments from ships saw this trend starting long ago, back in the early days of the Industrial Revolution. "We can see that over 100 years, the ocean has gotten clearer and clearer in the center," Falkowski explains. "So this is a long-term trend."

And it seems to be tied to global warming. Polovina's study, published in Geophysical Research Letters, finds that the areas of low productivity are expanding in lockstep with increasing water temperatures. As surface temperatures warm, that prevents colder water from rising up from the depths. And that colder water carries the nutrients that would feed the algae.

Hey igit, the oceans have been cooling for the past couple of years.

[skeeter]

My marine biology professor lectured us on so called ‘dead zones’ years ago - found in warmer climes, higher salt content means lower plankton, and clearer, bluer water. Common sense would dictate these zones would fluctuate in size, like the ozone hole or ice shields.

Well, glory be. I think we’ve just found the answer to our landfill problem.

Just as plants make up the base of the food web on land, tiny green phytoplankton in the ocean are a critical foodstuff for life in the oceans. And Jeff Polovina, at a National Marine Fisheries Service lab in Hawaii, has been watching by satellite as that greenery in the middle of the ocean is fading away.

Isn't phytoplankton also the main producer of the oxygen we breathe in the atmosphere? If we are seeing phytoplankton "fading away", shouldn't it have an immediate, measurable impact on oxygen levels?

[D Rider]

Not so surprising, warm water gives off CO2, cold water absorbs it, algae needs it. Thats why cold water area's provide the most productive fisheries...abundant food supply. Does it really take a PHD to figure that out?

I just sent your comment to NPR’s two news emails and story submission email.

“Link to Global Warming”

NPR = National Carbon Credit Radio, again and again

[Eva]

I read an article about CO2 that was suggesting that excess CO2 could be taken out to sea and injected into the oceans to dispose of it. Someone trying to make a buck.

[truemiester]

Ok, so there is less plankton before. What eats plankton, Krill and what eats krill? Whales. Its the dang whales fault.

This all started about the time every one said to ‘save the whales’. We did and now they are killing our planet. Kill the Whales and Save the Earth! Unleash the Japanese and the Norwegians!

(For all liberal lurkers, the preceding was what is know as a “joke”. Look it up.)

...And it seems to be tied to global warming.

and all of the sudden the BS meter pegged...
