Default NASA Team Pinpoints Human Causes of Global Warming

A team of scientists at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Science, as well as scientists from 10 other institutions have linked physical & biological impacts since 1970 with rises in temperatures during that period. Including changes to physical systems, such as glaciers shrinking, permafrost melting, and lakes & rivers warming.

Red face Dissolved oxygen in ocean waters

There was an article by Jonathan Leake (Sunday Times), describing the existance of oceans' death zones. As per the artcle, researchers in their 50 years of study in Atlantic and Pacific oceans, found that the warming of sea water through climate change is reduing it's ability to carry dissolved oxygen. This results in the death of marine life which depends on the oxygen in water for survival. Human population, which depends on marine life also suffers due to this. It is reported that at 0 degree centigrade, 1 kg of water can hold about 10 ml of dissolved oxygen but at 25 degrees, this falls to just 4 ml. Such layers of dead zones can stretch up to a few thousands of miles and a few hundreds of feet deep in oceans.

It is also reported that about 250 million years ago, average oxygen levels in oceans dropped to almost to zero, resulting in the drastic climate change and extinction of 95% of the world's species.

Now, what might have been the cause for the ocean water warming up, which resulted in the 0-level of dissolved oxygen?

Thank god, now we have NASA to warn us about the global warming!

Would that be the End Permian mass extinction event associated with a 6K rise in global temperatures?

And before any knickers get twisted,global warming exists.It has been around for quite a while but it is only recently that it has become a cult with its own priests etc.Hansen and company are becoming more desperate as more and more folks look around and start thinking for themselves.
