Pacific Northwest waters, anyone have info?
So, I live outside SF. This year, some sort of event was supposed to happen where the cold waters rise at a certain time of year and make the Pacific ocean 10 degrees cooler. Well, for the first time in recorded history, it didn't happen. Now, we have storms that are unprecedented. The ocean is 10 degrees warmer for the second year in a row. It's killed a bunch of plankton, as that was oxygen rich water that is supposed to rise.
My question: this is all I know about this situation, anyone have links or information about it? I researched online, but didn't find anything decent. |

I'm sorry, but I'm an environmental nitwit. I heard the winter in my state would be 30% warmer and did a happy dance. I'm sure its not good, but gawd its nice not having an inch of ice while trying to drive.

The History Channel did a piece on this just recently. This is a serious situation. I think you may find the info you are seeking by checking out global warming.

THE DUNGENESS ARE HERE... THE DUNGENESS ARE HERE!!
Sorry, forgot myself for a minute. Try El Nino (tilde) or La Nina, both can affect the waters off the coast to varying degrees. ![]() |
