The world's occeans are getting warmer and warmer

These days there are more talk about red shirts in Thailand, volcano eruption in Iceland or economic crises in Greece and EU than about climate changes. What a pity, we can survive some conflicts, a minor volcano eruption and a EU in crisis. It's really bad for those that experience all this; my symphaty is with all the people in both Thailand, Iceland and in Greece, but there are problems that are greater than these. One of the major problems are the climate changes. I still have not decided if I believe if it's human made or if it's natural. But something is for sure; I will not act as if it's natural, I feel we can't afford it. When I was young my parents always told me to save money for bad times. Now I feel that the bad times has come, not for me and not in the economic way,but for the climate and also for the enviroment. Those two are inseperable as the climate inflicts the enviroment deeply.

One of the latest news I found was that April this year is the warmest April ever on the earth. The map below shows us the difference from the normal temperature. The bigger the red dots are the bigger the difference are. It's, as you see, not only in the water the tempratures are higher than normal. And as you can see the difference from the average is largest over land areas.

It's not only that April has been the warmest April ever, the period from January till April has also been the warmest first four months on the earth so far. All these number has been taken from NOAA. So it's also numbers that are quite believable.

Another survey that has been published lately claims that the temperature of the occeans has been steadily rising for the last 16 years. In the study  they say that "the top 2,300 feet (700 meters) of the world's oceans warmed 0.64 watts per square meter from 1993 to 2008. That's equal to adding the energy from 100 million atomic bombs to the ocean each year during the 16-year period, said John Lyman of the University of Hawaii".

Water is also considered to be a better indicator for global warming as the temperature of water gets slower warmer or colder than air or land. And if the temperature in the water will continue it's rise in average temperature as the rest of the earth also gets hotter, many species of water wildlife will have to adjust to this. Places that before was perfect for one species may be to hot in a few years, or maybe already now. It's already speculations in Norway that the cod may stop egglaying in the Lofoten district of Norway and start doing it further north, maybe even longer north than Norway.

So if we wanna keep the earth as close to the balance it has made, we better listen to the message our earth sends us, beging to produce less CO2 or other climate gases..
