  1. @peoplemag when is the farrah fawcett tribute mag going to hit the newsstands in OC?
  2. MJ memorial tix at www.staplescenter.com/memor...
  3. OC has the world's most advanced groundwater replenishment system in the world. Basically, that means we drink ultra-treated poo water.
  4. El Nino is coming. Batten down the hatches and squirrel away the rainy day food. Let's hope the boy is merciful.
  5. The Pleistocene gets 800,000 years older: http://www.nature.com/news/...
  6. Great scary program on global warming on ABC News last night. Check out http://tinyurl.com/mjlhch to see clips from Earth 2100.
  7. Some glaciers in Tibet are growing. Are climatologists wrong about global warming? Not on your life. http://tinyurl.com/dcaj4l
  8. Being green means having respect for the natural systems that keep us alive. It means a cradle-to-cradle approach to energy and resources.
  9. Hot weather bakes the ocean surface and creates nice little nutrient rich layers for phytoplankton to grow and divide and feed the fishies.
  10. The Florida Keys are home to the only coral reefs in the mainland US. A visit here is a rare treat, indeed.
  11. How productive is the world ocean? Oceanographers' best guess is somewhere on the order of 103 billion metric tons carbon per year.
  12. Don't forget...lights out...830p to 930p tonight! Observe Earth Hour!
  13. Iron fertilization in the S. Atlantic stimulated phytoplankton...only...it was little phytoplankton, who were quickly eaten. No CO2 buried.
  14. Phytoplankton include eukaryotic photosynthetic protists and the cyanobacteria; they represent the interface between life and non-life.
  15. From the epipelagic to the abyssipelagic, from the intertidal to the deep benthos, ocean habitat is created in continuum.
  16. Antarctic Bottom Water forms in the Weddell Sea (where I once walked on sea ice), sinks, hugs the bottom, & wends its way slowly northward.
  17. Unlike humans, who maintain a mostly two dimensional movement about the planet, life in the ocean is decidedly three dimensional.
  18. Topsy turvy, right, left, whorling, curving, diving, rising, spinning, jetting, spurting; driven by winds, heat, salt, the ocean churns.
  19. The California current, complex and laid back, twists and spurts like a Greenaway Caliban, inspiring blooms and feeding fishes and whales.
  20. Sunlight penetrates the surface waters and diminishes color by color-ROYGVB- until only blue light remains, which, too, fades to black.
