Really? A mass extinction event? Really? No I mean...Really?

Or it could just be cyclical, to go along with more population in areas prone to such issues as well as poor undergrowth management.

Not all flooding is caused by "sea level rise". Subsidence has far more to do with it. If those that talk a good game regarding climate change and sea level rise actually practiced what they preached, they would not be buying multi million dollar homes in areas where some claims say will be under water in a couple of decades.

Which ones?

Ah yes. The "population problem". Paul Ehrlich is still revered by so many yet couldn't have possibly been more wrong about pretty much everything.

Good luck with that. And by that I mean...get your hands off my burger!

Who is this "they" you speak of...that you are equating to nazis?

That doesn't do anything to answer my post regarding the sensitivity and accuracy of the math used in the paper.

And the amount of heat being added to the oceans BY THE SUN is what? A thousand times that? Every second? Yawn.

Yes. True genius he. Quite the scientist.

That's a good indication that all of this has little to nothing to actually do with trying to save the planet from humans. Developed nations CO2 emissions are projected to decrease over the coming decades, while CO2 emissions from developing nations (China, India etc) are expected to increase by some 87%. If this was truly about saving the planet from CO2 emissions, people would be throwing China, India et al under the bus en masse. Instead you rarely hear criticism regarding not only their currently large emissions as a global percentage, but also their trajectory of future emissions as a global percentage. Why would that be?

China cleans up its polluting? Does their "scrubbing of all emissions" include the building of more coal plants than are being built in the rest of the world combined or no? Blue ocean event? Is that like the glaciers in Glacier National Park completely disappearing this year? Only they're not? Or the plethora of other dommsday predictions that have failed to materialize over the decades? But yeah. Michael Mann and stuff. True genius.

Certainly true. I do not have a problem with individuals who believe that humans are causing great harm to the climate. I have far more of a problem with people like Mann who have made themselves into something of a cottage industry and become quite wealthy and well healed while simultaneously doing their best to protect their status by slandering and trying to shut down conversation and dissension. He is the antithesis of what science is supposed to be. Thus the lol.

I question the uncertainty range of this study. I seriously doubt that measurements going back to the 1960's regarding the top two kilometers of ocean temperature are accurate within plus or minus .003 degrees celsius. That seems highly problematic. The number of buoys that are currently in use versus the number it would take to truly measure enough of the ocean down to two kilometers is also quite problematic. As is the fact that this buoy system has only been in place since 2005. Finally, even if one assumes their problematic findings are indeed accurate, it will take some 300+ years for the oceans to warn by a single degree. Not exactly alarming. And to say with certainty that the change in temperature is 100% due to human causes as opposed to cloud cover or El Nino frequency, or any number of other slight variances in a highly complex climate system seems to me very definition of arrogance.

Nope. I'm referring to Michael Mann the fear monger. Lol.

Michael Mann. Lol.
