In the scientific realm, the new findings help resolve long-running doubts about the rate of the warming of the oceans before 2007, when reliable measurements from devices called “Argo floats” were put to use worldwide. Before that, differing types of temperature records — and an overall lack of them — contributed to murkiness about how quickly the oceans were heating up.

The higher-than-expected amount of heat in the oceans means more heat is being retained within Earth’s climate system each year, rather than escaping into space. In essence, more heat in the oceans signals that global warming is more advanced than scientists thought.

“We thought that we got away with not a lot of warming in both the ocean and the atmosphere for the amount of CO2 that we emitted,” said Resplandy, who published the work with experts from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and several other institutions in the United States, China, France and Germany. “But we were wrong. The planet warmed more than we thought. It was hidden from us just because we didn’t sample it right. But it was there. It was in the ocean already.”

Trumped up climate history is bunk

Trumped up climate
history is bunk

Despite overwhelming historical evidence that human-induced climate change is happening now, Donald Trump is apparently still refusing to face the facts.

By Tim Radford

LONDON, 16 November, 2016 − China can proudly claim many inventions − but certainly not the concept of global warming that US president-elect Donald Trump has accredited to it.

When Trump wrote on Twitter on 6 November, 2012, that “the concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make US manufacturing non-competitive”, he was either ignoring or ignorant of the hard historical facts.

In 1859, scientist John Tyndall calculated the capacity of atmospheric gases – among them water vapour, carbon dioxide and methane − to absorb infrared radiation.

In 1896, Swedish scientist Svante Arrenhius formulated a relationship between levels of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and changes in temperature.

In 1938, British engineer Guy Stewart Callendar looked at the relationship between carbon dioxide and temperature, and confirmed Arrhenius’s calculations.

In 1958, Charles David Keeling, of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in the US, started measuring carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere at one location – at 3,400 metres altitude on the Hawaiian volcano Mauna Loa.

In 2001, US president George W Bush awarded Keeling the President’s National Medal of Science.

What is now called the Keeling Curve describes the steady rise of CO2 in parts per million in the last six decades.The ratio before the Industrial Revolution is put at around 280ppm. It is now at or above 400ppm.

Explore The World’s Most Detailed Map Of The Seafloor, Released Today

Researchers today published the most detailed map of the ocean floor ever produced. Data collected by satellites and remote sensing instruments were used to created a model at least twice as accurate as previous maps, revealing thousands of previously uncharted seafloor features in the process. And best of all, you can explore the maps for yourself!

Much of what we know about the ocean floor’s topology we know from data collected by multibeam sonar systems. It is estimated that these sonar systems – which have to be lugged back and forth across the ocean’s surface by ships in order to acquire soundings of the seafloor deep beneath them – have left a staggering 90% of the deep-sea bottom uncharted.

When Dwight D. Eisenhower was planning the invasion of Normandy, he made sure to check with Walter Munk and his colleagues first. Munk had come to the United States from Austria-Hungary to work as a banker before switching to oceanography, eventually making major advances in the science of tidal and wave forecasting. He was a defense researcher at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in 1943 when his team calculated that the seas on June 5 of that year would be so rough that a delay was in order. The invasion would happen on the following day. It was just one highlight among many in Munk’s career. From explaining why we always see the same side of the moon to sending a sound signal halfway around the world, Munk is the very definition of the enterprising scientist. When I spoke to him (...)

Carbon dioxide in atmosphere at record level
▻http://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/2014/05/01/carbon-dioxide-400-ppm-april-mauna-loa/8575651

For the first time in human history and likely for the first time in at least 800,000 years, the average level of carbon dioxide (CO2) in Earth’s atmosphere topped 400 parts per million for an entire month.

(...)

Scientists at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego reported that April’s average CO2 value was 401.33 parts per million (ppm). Each day in April had a reading above 400 ppm.

The Leslie Brodie Report Launched Journalistic Inquiry Into Events Surrounding Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Tony Haymet, CleanTECH, Donna Lucas, Marty Africa

Amid conflicting reports and unanswered questions, The Leslie Brodie Report has launched a journalistic inquiry into events surrounding San Diego-based Scripps Institution of Oceanography ("SIO"), and directors Tony Haymet, Donna Lucas, and Marty Africa.

Haymet, 56, is “the tenth director of Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego. Haymet also serves as UC San Diego’s vice chancellor for marine sciences and dean of the Graduate School of Marine Sciences, and is a professor of oceanography at Scripps. He joined Scripps in 2006,” according to SIO. (Image: courtesy)

According to incomplete and misleading infomation issued by the University of California “Scripps Director Tony Haymet is taking a sabbatical and will continue his research program, accept an excellence award as Visiting Professor of the Petersen Foundation in Kiel, Germany, (►http://www.geomar.de/en) and chair the World Economic Forum’s Ocean Council (►http://www.weforum.org/content/global-agenda-council-oceans-2012-0). The World Economic Forum, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, is an independent international organization committed to improving the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas.”

The Leslie Brodie Report has managed to confirm that Hayment is taking a sabbatical from October 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013.

The Leslie Brodie Report also managed to confirm that Haymet is presently employed at Los Angeles-based Phillips & Associates — a financial planning and fundraising counsel for not-for-profit institutions and organizations.

According to Phillips & Associates, “Tony’ principal responsibilities focus on our firm’s assignment in the development of a new non-profit organization at the Port of Los Angeles.”

The Leslie Brodie Report also managed to confirm that Hayment is also employed at Pegasus Capital Advisors — a private equity fund manager that has been providing creative capital and strategic solutions to companies across a variety of industries.

It was not immidietly clear what, if any, are Haymet’s plans as far as CleanTECH — a private, non-profit member organization he launched in 2007.
