OT: CO2 in seawater during the Paleocene–Eocene T hermal Maximum...

[Bill Sloman]

Today\'s Procedings of the (US) Nation Academy of Sciences has a potentially interesting paper.

https://www.pnas.org/content/117/39/24088.abstract?etoc

The researchers seem to have worked out how to get good numbers for the changes in the oceans when the global temperature went up some 5 to 8 degrees Celcius over a couple of thousand years some 56 million years ago - it didn\'t warm up quite as rapidly as it is at the moment, but it did go up unusually rapidly. I may be able to get hold of the full text.

The gibberish in the subject line is just part of the chemical
description of the thing. Nothing to do with the troll\'s lack of
technical skill...

The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum is well known to educated people.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleocene%E2%80%93Eocene_Thermal_Maximum

and its relevance today\'s global warming is equally widely appreciated, though obviously not by gullible idiots.

I wonder what particular technical skill John Doe thinks that I lack? If you get a Ph.D. in chemistry you do learn what CO2 means - it\'s just the formula for carbon dioxide, the well-known greenhouse gas. You even get to learn about it\'s infra-red spectrum, which is what makes it a greenhouse gas. Maybe John Doe doesn\'t know about this kind of stuff (which isn\'t all that advanced).

Is there any logic connecting the simpleton\'s two sentences?
I don\'t see any.

Have you ever mounted a DeWalt cordless drill to the front fork of your
bicycle, so that it sticks out about one foot on the right side?
