Now look, do you want dawlish or, as requested first time around, undawlish?




Can't do both at once!




It's just hilarious how someone like little old me can get so far under one idiot's skin that he mentions me in almost every single post he makes and tries to make out that every other person in his small Internet life is actually me. Truly hilarious.


Now he knows what you are really like Judith I can see some dangerous liaisons taking place in the near future.

Can I call you Judy

Very true.What tends to look act and sound like a duck tends to produce the same rotten egg smelll by any other name.

Let's go back to the article and see where they went wrong:

"Bacteria in oxygen-depleted bottom waters consume organic matter and produce prodigious amounts of hydrogen sulfide. As that gas bubbles up into more oxygen-rich water, the sulphur precipitates out."

Obviously to produce prodigious amounts of hydrogen sulphide the onus is on the organic matter to contain prodigious amounts of sulphur. Unless one is eating a western diet, that is unlikely.

Or are these bottom feeders existing on submarine sandwiches from the likes of MacDonalds?

One might have thought the conclusion was obvious but no...
This clot took off with both feet:

It doesn't but it does provide additional trace elements from the dust
that would otherwise not be present.

Clear tropical seas are typically starved of nutrients and will have
spectacular algal blooms (some of them toxic) if the conditions are
right. It can be good or bad depending on the circumstances.


Then we went into the bad chemistry that was produced by the thread on London smogs posted a few weeks previously:

Standard redox chemistry when H2S gets oxidised at some stage if goes
through the thiosulphate stage and that will happily decompose to
colloidal elemental sulphur and sulphite in mildly acidic water.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiosulfate


I started reading the first bit but it went so wide of the OP that I just spaced out. One can't chase down every dolt online and get where you wanted to go in the first place.

But while I seem to have got off the lucid bus at the right stop:

How does a mineral depleted warm tropical sea have "spectacular algal blooms"?

The answer of course is that I don't really want to know but can't help feeding the trolls. It's ironic.

Writes like Dawlish doesn't he?
If he isn't said clot he is from the exact same school of thiking with te copy and paste tools.

To be continued no doubt;meanwhile in the real world:
"As of May 6, 2014, half of the United States was experiencing some level of drought. Nearly 15 percent of the nation was gripped by extreme to exceptional drought. For the Plains and the Southwest, it's a pattern that has been persistent for close to four years.

The entire state of California is in some level of drought, much of it extreme to exceptional. Snowpack is 50 percent of normal in many locations in the West, and Svoboda noted that a lot of snow has completely melted before it normally would."

http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOT...0&src=eoa-iotd

The first thing I thought on seeing the article was the length of the drought in Egypt in Genesis. 7 years. But it may not have been drought. Modern thinking may be conditioned by the international ease of transportation but until 300 years ago a famine could be localised with very little to be done about it but to accept refugees.

There was no way of getting and dispensing rations over wide distances. Even armies suffered intense privations with all their military might. More so if the whole region was under stress.

So did the USA have 7 years of plenty?

Over here because we have come to rely on one sub-species of cow, we are mutilating the countryside killing badgers because they are the ones responsible for the diseases in such cattle. It has nothing to do with the ungoverned, unrestricted right of farmers to overdose their cattle with any and everything they can get their hands on.

My second thought on the subject above is that if we carry on carrying on in this fashion we will soon do a better job of destroying the environment than any Noachian flood could. Because we will stockpile a toxicity in the planet that will take more than a year or two to get over.

Meanwhile even as late as Edwardian times a series of wet days at the wrong time could wipe out a farmer. If he failed to bring in some sort of an harvest the bank he was in hock to would sell him down the river.

Couple that with meagre transportation resources and you begin to understand how Pharaoh struck gold. It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good. But I wonder what sort of winds were lowing for that to occur. They must have occurred many times since. Where would the records be found for that sort of thing?

We can see from the NWS and OPC resources just what has been going on in the USA and a lot of North America for more than 50 years. I dare say Mexico and Canada could furnish nearly as much data if one could just knife the buggers out of it somehow. They are as bad as our lot of plonkers at the Meteorological Orifice and Climategate.

Or are they?
Anyone know better?

I can't imagine much of this article is correct:

http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOT...1&src=eoa-iotd

As the Benguela Current flows north and west from South Africa enriched with nutrients from the Southern Ocean and from dust blowing off African coastal deserts, Easterly winds push surface waters offshore and promote upwelling near the coast, which brings up cold, nutrient-rich waters from the deeper ocean.

"Bacteria in oxygen-depleted bottom waters consume organic matter and produce prodigious amounts of hydrogen sulfide. As that gas bubbles up into more oxygen-rich water, the sulphur precipitates out."


Here's another one:

The particles in ship exhaust are more abundant than natural airborne particles such as sea salt, so they generate more and smaller cloud droplets. Because of this, ship tracks tend to be brighter than other clouds. Water droplets are essentially tiny spheres, and a smaller sphere has a greater surface-to-volume ratio than a bigger sphere. In other words, a littler droplet has a greater surface area, relative to its volume, than a bigger droplet. The greater surface area means more sunlight reflected back into space.

So ships can have opposing effects. While the carbon dioxide from the combustion of fossil fuel that powers many ships warms Earth's climate, the enhanced reflection of sunlight in ship tracks helps cool Earth's climate.

I am glad I am not a dawlish neorectoid
Wasting all my time with a splenetic freedom in each tortured session
Or a corncraking Jenkins regurgitating the front page
Presenting it in a not to be learned lesson

I would legalise carbon
Dioxide the O too
Giving Dawlish all the sulphates he is missing
I'd ace all the smokestacks
Letting Lawrence have his day
Explaining albedo in his daily reflections

But when it comes to NASA's Earth Observatory
I reserve the right to flag each misdirection

For they have to paste their adverts of low integrity explaining all those satellite progressions. That wouldn't matter -if they did not always miss the point and end up sadly posing wrong connections.

No, I am not dawlish, given to wasting his sad life
And I'm glad I am not Jenkins
Oh Lord I am not him.
Father, please hear my confession.

Here is another one:
http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOT...=related_image

Satellites of NASA show groundwater supplies continue to be unusually depleted.
For if you are a farmer hanging by a thread, the soil moisture map depicts short-term conditions. But if you own a supermarket you'll come out ahead the groundwater map loads your ammunition.

It is legalised robbery sell by date rape
Water managers decisions show the way it's going to be
In predictions of agricultural policy.
In a country ruled by indiscretion.

For there is something antisocial in their neoconparty
As long as there's no taxes they have eyes that will not see
They'd rather have a dust-bowl if you let them
And there is something sub-human in the earth's fragility
And all the knock on effects it's getting
Ripping off the mountain tops to get at the coal seams
They would chop down every thing that's left then.

No I am not Dawlish happy as can be arguing 40 parts to the million
Glad I am not Jenkins the front page I never read
Oh lord I am so happy neither fool is me
Running off the mouth over half of a degree somersaulting headlines into verbal inanimation.

While I am at it i would also like to say that I am glad my voice is better than the synthesiser used on he
http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOT...&eoci=moreiotd

I imagine Dawlish drones a bit like that. I wonder if his testes have dried up early on him. If he sounds like that I'd love to overhear a presentation. Can you imagine the school board at Porkies trying not to laugh?

They have been outed as CIA; of whom their own President declared them stupid. I can't argue with him.

https://weathercharts.wordpress.com/...tastrophism-2/

I believe that I have seen these charts before but of course I can’t recall when.the lack of forecasts on the NAEFS charts was a feature too. The charts reappeared as soon as the event was over. the Hawaiian charts were also affected at times. A lot of interference occurred with internet networks even involving the destruction of hard drives.

So be sure to have your stuff backed up.
