'morning Aiden,

Just quoting from the bio for this author

"Patrick Moore was a co-founder, and leader of Greenpeace for 15 years is now an independent ecologist and environmentalist based in Vancouver, Canada."

If you want to call Patrick Moore a liar, perhaps you should take it up with him and our editor Graham Young?

Only of course if shooting the messenger is more important to you than debating content?

Evening spindoc,

On the contrary, I have alrady pointed out the flaws in Patrick's argument, but YOU have shown evidence of regarding the messenger's credentials as more important than debating content. The claim that he cofounded Greenpeace has been exposed as untrue before. If you want to know the truth about him, I suggest you start by looking on hiis Wikipedia page.

BTW I'm unaware pf the procedure for taking things up with Graham Young. What is it?

Are we living on the same planet?
Hot one minute, cold at the same time.

And I repeat here on OLO, AGW and Kyoto and IPCC and CSIRO science has not measured and assessed photosynthesis-linked warmth in ocean algae plant matter.

I think climate is being impacted by humans but not due to CO2.

Dear spindoc, Patrick Moore knows the deal with partial pressures yet conveniently doesn't mention them for obscure reason--> maybe he needs to be reminded wikipedia is watching him!!

Hasbeen and others, times have changed and so has health of the GBR and whole ocean. There is dead coral almost everywhere.

Surely debate about the article here should be about what is being said, instead of criticizing the author.

Google: coccolithaphore Bering Sea.
There are thriving blooms of a size unprecedented in known History and coccolithaphore has calcium based shell that is thriving and is not dissolving.

Pinpoints of cloud leading into bigger cloud can even be seen forming during precipitation virtually parallel to a major coccolithaphore algae bloom in the Bering Sea, here:

Let there be real debate instead of accepting incomplete AGW science blaming CO2. Or the consequences of inaction toward the real cause and impact will continue.

JF Aus, I was under the impression that marine algae had a strong cooling effect due to the DMS they emit into the atmosphere helping clouds to form.

Is that not so?
