North Atlantic Ocean Temps Hit Record High
Email this Story Jul 8, 10:00 AM (ET) ST. JOHN'S, Newfoundland (AP) - Ocean temperatures in the North Atlantic hit an all-time high last year, raising concerns about the effects of global warming on one of the most sensitive and productive ecosystems in the world. Sea ice off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador was below normal for the tenth consecutive year and the water temperature outside St. John's Harbor was the highest on record in 2004, according to a report released Wednesday by the federal Fisheries Department. The ocean surface off St. John's averaged almost two degrees Fahrenheit above normal, the highest in the 59 years the department has been compiling records. And bottom temperatures were also one degree higher than normal, according the report. "A two-degree temperature anomaly on the Grand Banks is pretty significant in the bottom areas, where temperatures only range a couple of degrees throughout the year," said Eugene Colbourne, an oceanographer with the Fisheries Department. Water temperatures were above normal right across the North Atlantic last year, from Newfoundland to Greenland, Iceland and Norway. The Newfoundland data is another wake-up call on climate change, say environmentalists. Anchorage, Alaska, has seen annual snowfall shrink in the past decade, high river temperatures are killing off millions of spawning salmon in British Columbia and northern climates around the world have noticed warming. Meanwhile, ocean temperatures have risen around the globe, and species are already dying, said Bill Wareham, acting director of marine conservation for the Vancouver-based David Suzuki Foundation. "I don't think there's a question about whether these changes are happening," Wareham said. But "everyone's quite shocked at the speed at which these things are changing." Air temperatures in the Newfoundland region were also higher than normal, but Colbourne said the results are not conclusive. Water temperatures in the cold Labrador current were actually below normal levels. And while the other temperatures were record highs, a similar warming trend occurred in the 1960s, Colbourne said. "We really can't say for sure if what we're seeing in Newfoundland waters is a consequence of global warming, when we've only got 50 years of data or so," Colbourne said. "It may be related to global warming but, then again, it may be just the natural cycle that we see in this area of the world." |

I am not shocked.There isnt anything that shocks me anymore.

You see these things pop up in Spetember and October, but were still in July. On another note, the waters around LI are unusually cool. Looks like the flow is screwed up. dxAce Michigan USA |

But you cannot re-introduce billions of tons of CO2 that have been trapped for millions of years and not expect a change in the atmosphere and Earth's temperature. |

On another note, the waters around LI are unusually cool. Looks like the flow is screwed up. Unusual. Perhaps. But now outside the realm of possible. Just another outlyer on the statistical curve. Nothing more. All it does is add another data point to the process. What it does do is give the tree huggers and environmental sky-is-falling alarmists something to point to. And IF I'm wrong.......I'll adapt. That's science you can count upon. bill |

I checked the cold water temperture flowing out of the faucet in my
bathtub earlier this evening with the temperture wire thingy on my old Fluke digital multimeter.84.9 degrees,it said.We are having a heat wave Chicken Little,it's Summertime.Run,Run,Run! cuhulin |

We can take ice core samples to see what the climate and such was but no real documentation was logged in the distant past . the fact is the Earth is constantly changing. We simply don't know. We don't really know if this is part of a natural warming cycle-we were in a cold period from 1200-1800 AD-or greenhouse gas induced. It is known that at Lake Tahoe in the California mountains, forests covered areas that are now underwater. The desert southwest in the US has had 200 year long droughts in the past. At the other extreme, glaciers once covered what is now the US as far south as northern Mexico. Clearly, the earth has had major shifts in climate and weather patterns before, in times when auto emissions were not a factor. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

If it gets to category five or higher,I am heading for Bozeman,Montana.I
