The entire Southern Ocean is now found to be fully saturated with CO2! No one predicted even signs of this to start happening until at least 2050. We are doomed. I disagree entirely with Tony Blair's statement that we only have a "10-15 year window of opportunity." It's already too late. The Global Warming Cycle has already begun and there's no way to stop it. http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/science/05/17/climate.ocean.reut/index.html

Arctic Melt Worse Than Predictions!

So its going to get hot very quick in next few years? I think first the water will expand then the ice melt. But theres always the hope that new forests will grow quick and start sucking up more carbon. That happens if it rains more in places, and if the sea warms up I reckon thats going to be true.

The Dutch are already genetically prepared for it. They are the tallest people in Europe. Clearly this is in anticipation of the dykes bursting: they will be able to walk around with their heads just sticking out of the water.:)

So what can we do about it? Tear down the factories and chemical plants that produce CO2?

Seems that may be more economic than genetic (http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2004/04/05/040405fa_fact?currentPage=1).

Just stop cutting so many trees down and plant lots more! Burning forests I think makes more carbon dioxide than factories.

It even possible that with seas full of carbon, the plant planktn will grow a lot faster and suck down even more of that mowly dioxide. Im not tryin to bury my head in the sands here, I just think shoutin "doom!" is no good.:(

Brazilians don't understand the importance of the very land they live on - the land they call home. And neither did we, until somewhat recently. Or maybe not.

LOL, who cares, this is no problem at all. The Southern Ocean is my sanctuary, I chose this place thirty years ago to survive what was/is coming, LOL.

Better start thinking about the 1mu thick oil slick on all the oceans, seas, lakes, puddles, etc

Catastrophe, you have no idea! Doomed yes y'all are unless you start listening.

It's Easter Island all over again but on a massive scale!!!
