One such unexplained trend is that warm - blooded land animals are usually
faster than cold - blooded creatures of comparable size, whereas at sea the reverse is usually true.
So a gas of slow particles is
colder than a gas of
fast - moving
ones, and absolute zero corresponds to the point at which particles stop moving completely, which is why nothing can be
colder.
On the kelvin scale, temperature is determined by the kinetic energy of particles, so a gas of slow particles is
colder than a gas of
fast - moving
ones.
Hence,
cold - blooded animals like turtles live longer
than warm - blooded
ones like hares, and
fast - living creatures die young.
My research indicates that the Siberian peat moss, Arctic tundra, and methal hydrates (frozen methane at the bottom of the ocean) all have an excellent chance of melting and releasing their stored co2.Recent methane concentration figures also hit the news last week, and methane has increased after a long time being steady.The forests of north america are drying out and are very susceptible to massive insect infestations and wildfires, and the massive die offs - 25 % of total forests, have begun.And, the most recent stories on the Amazon forecast that with the change in rainfall patterns
one third of the Amazon will dry and turn to grassland, thereby creating a domino cascade effect for the rest of the Amazon.With co2 levels risng
faster now that the oceans have reached carrying capacity, the oceans having become also more acidic, and the looming threat of a North Atlanic current shutdown (note the recent terrible news on salinity upwelling levels off Greenland,) and the change in
cold water upwellings, leading to far less biomass for the fish to feed upon, all lead to the conclusion we may not have to worry about NASA completing its inventory of near earth objects greater
than 140 meters across by 2026 (Recent Benjamin Dean astronomy lecture here in San Francisco).
