I can't speak for others but that is not what I have been doing. I have been working in a lab that focuses on global change biology in the ocean. It is also a ecology lab meaning that the effects of the change on the ecosystem and the psychological responses are examined. The PI is a member of the Ocean Protection Council for the state and has contributed to the National Climate Assessment report in regards to ocean acidification.Hello; I may be off track and apologize ahead of time if any of you who post in this thread are actual climate scientists. I get that Gore and Gretta are celebs and are just parroting the actual climate scientists work. Is this not the same thing many of you on this thread have been doing?
If you have done original work it might be helpful to point this out when you post.
Not clear to me if Mr. Gore was citing different scientists than you guys do. Back a decade or few he made some claims which have been proved incorrect. I am fairly sure Greta is using stuff from current scientists. I have watched some PBS TV programs featuring Greta recently.
For your sakes I do hope you have not been citing the same scientists that Gore did. Such would make your sources questionable. I get we are not supposed to question the findings any more, but it is experiences with Mr. Gore and others like him which do make it tough to not have some doubts.
I do not question some warming is being recorded currently so am not going there. I mostly question the notion that human activity is the greater part of the cause of this warming. That leads to questions of what will be the value of the somewhat drastic changes in lifestyles will be. Not going to get into that right now.
I have been doing my work under the guidance of a graduate student that examines the impact of marine heatwaves in the intertidal zone. I will be presenting my project (via poster/presentation) at a marine biology conference next month. I have not personally done a project with ocean acidification, however I have helped other students with their projects (research is collaborative), such as testing larva development with different levels of pH or temperature and examining the response. Invertebrates such as mussels and sea urchins are perfect to study for this as they can't regulate their own temperature (ectotherms/coldblooded) so they are vulnerable and respond quickly. They also have a fast generation change over rate so you can see the changes faster. None of the stuff coming out of the lab are predications. I don't follow Gore or Gerta so I don't know who they cite but I can promise you its not anyone from our community.
