5 years from now fish start to taste better

@OMG! Ponies!: Oh, I've just been having a caipi at the beach bar! Yummy! Best use of limes known to man

Kit Eaton

@92FakeThomasJefferson: Do they even still make Tequiza? I always thought it tasted like the milk left over after eating Fruity Pebbles -- though not as milky.

GeekyNerdGuy

@Hectorvex: Yes, but that's not as funny to me, hence the use of actual limes, just like the post's image.

In Kim Stanley Robinson's trilogy "Science in the Capital" they drop tons of salt into the Atlantic to combat global warming.

ps61318

Any type of engineering (biological or otherwise) to fix the planet is a method of last resort. As a result, the big question on this concept is how long it would take for it to make a difference to global CO2 levels. Heck, if it comes to it, we could always create a giant sun-visor in space, too, but -- method of last resort.

I saw the image in post and suddenly imaged a few drunk guys in Jersey are going to take a break from harassing dolphins to boat out into the ocean, slam whole limes into the water, and heckle the ocean. "Yeah, you friggin ocean, take that! You ain't so tough now you friggin CO2 production jerk! Learn your lesson water!"

jonny6pak

Yes, because the monkeys radically altering the chemical balance of 70% of the Earth's surface to alter a recent and quite possibly naturally occurring climatic event couldn't possibly have unintended consequences.

junyo

Well, I certainly think the addition of lime makes any soda better.

I'm drinking Lime Diet Pepsi right now.

GeekyNerdGuy

@dorylomorphs: Corona tastes like ass and for good reason. It's made water filtered from a sewage treatment plant. The lime is there to cover the taste (kind of like tap water with a slice of lemon).

Mojitos are mighty tasty. May I suggest Caipirinha, the Mojito's sexy Brazilian cousin. It's made with cachaca instead of rum and no mint. Cachaca is distilled from sugar cane juice whereas run is distilled from molasses.

In fact, I might pop off for one right now...

OMG! Ponies!

Are you sure they don't mean Lime as in calcium, often fount in the form of limestone? This type of lime increases alkalinity.

The other Lime, from the tree, would raise the acidity of the sea.

@aelver: Not that type of lime! It was a gizmodo joke. It's lime, as in calcium oxide.

LittleJon

Ohh duh, calcium oxide. You guys and your tricky pictures ;)

aelver

Seeding the oceans with iron to boost algae growth (that would absorb CO2) was found to have more dangers than benefits. This will probably go the same way.

LittleJon

Adding lime could potentially destroy the delicate balance of trace chemicals. The ocean floor could be possibly be destroyed*.

* I prefer lemon over lime.

Mayor McRib

I just heard an article which said that most of the methane that is being produced comes from the oceans as well. Damn oceans.

Git Em SteveDave is a poor substitute for LindsayJoy

Limes boost alkalinity? Uhhh, do they not contain citric acid?

p.s. My chemistry was never good.

aelver

Wouldn't this hurt the fish in the ocean or something?

I cant help but think that this is going to backfire eventually.

MadColombian

Coronas and Mojitos FTW?

dorylomorphs

Lime is made on industrial scale by heating up limestone (CaCO3) until it gives off CO2, leaving CaO behind.

The resulting lime can absorb exactly as much CO2 as was generated in the process of making the lime in the first place. At best, you can break even.

But wait, it gets worse. If you burn any fuel to make the heat needed to convert CaCO3 to CaO, you have a net increase in CO2 level.

How exactly is this process supposed to help reduce atmospheric CO2 levels?

dwhitman

oh my... has everyone gone insane?

Rabid Penguin

@atomx: well cows still contribute, but not as much as the ocean. What's even worse is that as they produce methane, the temp of the seas goes up, which makes them produce MORE methane. It's like me that one time I went to the buffet at PizzaHut.

Git Em SteveDave is a poor substitute for LindsayJoy

I say dont mess with nature or it will bite back. Scientists have made many mistakes in the past by messing with nature.

GadgetPlay

The Aussies would do a lot better to use Solar Therml Energy Conversion Systems to process the millions of tons of iron ore that they export to China and ship sponge iron manufactured in their own country instead. Fewer large dry bulk carrier ships plying the sea between Australia and China would mean a lot less fuel used and the electric furnaces that the solar thermal energy systems would use would mean less coal burned in the old Chinese ore-smelters.

As a bonus to the rest of the world, US companies are among the most advanced in the world in Solar Thermal Energy Conversion and the world would get cheap steel to boot. A win-win situation for everyone if it ever happens!

It stands to reason, to me at least, that CO2 levels are not a concern, CO might be on the other hand.

Also rum and tequilla levels are a concern, is there enough??

johnnyabnormal

@johnnyabnormal: The executive ban was lifted. There is still a congressional ban. As far as drilling in ANWR, it may not be a short term solution, but how is us being able to make use of our own oil not going to change anything? I thought people were bitching because we're to dependent on foreign oil, then those same people also want to bitch about us using our own oil.

Rabid Penguin

@Rabid Penguin: Uh, wrong. There are currently millions of acres on domestic soil and offshore that are not being drilled. The oil companies are simply not using them. Of the 90 million offshore acres the industry has leases to, mostly in the Gulf of Mexico, it is estimated that upwards of 70 million are not producing oil. People are bitching about being dependent on oil, period. Everyone is looking for a quick fix, and there isn't one. Now all those who have been demonizing environmentalists for all these years have been caught with their pants down getting a very expensive gas nozzle up the butt.

"Christopher Monckton! The well-debunked Lord Monckton of Brenchley!!! You cannot be serious!!! Marque apparently could not even find a real physicist for this physics newsletter! !!! You can read Lord Monckton's bio on Wikipedia. He has a diploma in journalism, served as a policy adviser for Margaret Thatcher, "inherited his father's hereditary peerage upon his father's death in 2006," and "was an unsuccessful candidate for a conservative seat in the House of Lords." You might consider him a rich man's (failed) James Inhofe. If you wanted to consider him at all."

Either way, this might explain some things:

[scienceblogs.com]

[climateprogress.org]

If you want to skip the links, the conclusion is...

"Rumor Debunked: No Flip-Flop on Global Warming"

In their own words from their website [www.aps.org:]

"The American Physical Society reaffirms the following position on climate change, adopted by its governing body, the APS Council, on November 18, 2007:

"Emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities are changing the atmosphere in ways that affect the Earth's climate."
An article at odds with this statement recently appeared in an online newsletter of the APS Forum on Physics and Society, one of 39 units of APS. The header of this newsletter carries the statement that "Opinions expressed are those of the authors alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of the APS or of the Forum." This newsletter is not a journal of the APS and it is not peer reviewed."

johnnyabnormal

@LittleJon: "That old idea has been discredited. Solar activity has actually been declining since the 1980s."

And global temperatures have been declining or steady since '98. Think there might be a slight delay between the Sun's activity and it's influence on our temperature? Nah. Couldn't be, doesn't fit the template. "Hey, I know, let's do a study that shows the Sun is not involved with warming the Earth! Then we can continue to get funding!" And it was so...

Either way, that doesn't disprove anthropogenic global climate change in the least.

johnnyabnormal

@johnnyabnormal: Do you have cute animations for the supposed supercontinents that preceded Pangaea? The Earth, at one point, probably did only have one giant continent that broke up into the land masses we know today... but four supercontinents?

Rabid Penguin

@Rabid Penguin: That, I have never heard of. But feel free to supply links.

johnnyabnormal

@johnnyabnormal: Muhahaha! "Uh, ever heard of continental drift?" = wrong! The continents have been almost at the present position since Pleistocene, and haven't moved much since then. The DNA samples are only about 100,000 years old, so even if there was movement it wasn't that significant.
It proves that the earth was warmer in the past that it is today, and that was before the industrial eveolution.

Even IPCC is claiming that global warming is taking a 10-20 year break. If they couldn't predict the "break" how can they accurately predict the climate 100 years from now? They can't even predict how long the break is going to be. Since we know less than 0.01% about the planet and how each peace of the puzzle affects the other, there is no way of making an accurate predition about the climate.

skiterr

@skiterr:

"Muhahaha! "Uh, ever heard of continental drift?" = wrong! The continents have been almost at the present position since Pleistocene, and haven't moved much since then."

You're dead on with that. My mistake. I misread as 8,000,000 years instead of 800,000 years as cited by your [www.digitaljournal.com] "Dating back 450,000 to 800,000 years ago"

Aside from that, the rest is grasping. Why? Because there is no comparison between the world gradually warming and cooling over many millions of years to the rapid changes happening from pollution now. But, if you want to cut through the wanna-be press, ask the climatologists:

[www.realclimate.org]

It's a very interesting read, but essentially concludes that the article you linked is a result of "good science giving rise to bad press coverage". You are right that temperatures in that region were warmer than they were today...BUT THE SEA LEVEL WAS ALSO 4-6 METERS HIGHER! Let that sink in (no pun intended) for a little while.

On your other point: "Even IPCC is claiming that global warming is taking a 10-20 year break." is total garbage. They have said nothing of the sort and that statement is a complete lie.

Lastly, your statement: "Since we know less than 0.01% about the planet and how each peace of the puzzle affects the other, there is no way of making an accurate predition about the climate."

Speak for yourself. I seem to sense that you work really hard to be wrong about this subject. It must be frustrating to not understand it. :)

johnnyabnormal

@johnnyabnormal: Supercontinents: Rodinia, Pannotia, Pangaea. Those are just wikipedia links. They [wikipedia] didn't have a ton of info on the non-Pangaea supercontinents so it may be best to just google for some info. I'm not sure I buy into that, but what do I know :c) It sounds about as crazy as the growing/expanding earth theory if you really start to think about it. And then there is also the hydroplate theory. All the theories are probably wrong lol, but it's fun to read about.

Rabid Penguin

@Rabid Penguin: That was interesting. Did you see this?

[en.wikipedia.org]

This is probably one of the biggest reasons I think Pangaea existed (via wiki):

Evidence of Pangaea's existence

Fossil evidence for Pangaea includes the presence of similar and identical species on continents that are now great distances apart. For example, fossils of the therapsid Lystrosaurus have been found in Gandu, South Africa, India and Australia, alongside members of the Glossopteris flora, whose distribution would have ranged from the polar circle to the equator if the continents would have been in their present position; similarly, the freshwater reptile Mesosaurus has only been found in localized regions of the coasts of Brazil and West-Africa.[5]
Additional evidence for Pangaea is found in the geology of adjacent continents, including matching geological trends between the eastern coast of South America and the western coast of Africa.
The polar ice cap of the Carboniferous Period covered the southern end of Pangaea. Glacial deposits, specifically till, of the same age and structure are found on many separate continents which would have been together in the continent of Pangaea.[6]
[edit]

johnnyabnormal

@johnnyabnormal: Like I said, I don't doubt that at one time our Earth only had one giant continent. I just doubt that it was Rodinia, Pannotia, and Pangaea. I'm not trying to play semantic word games as to what you would call this giant continent, but I think the explanation given with the current Pangaea theory leaves a lot to be desired.

Rabid Penguin

@johnnyabnormal: That's actually a lot to go into... I'll try to find some resources this evening and send you a PM.
