"But they are another illustration of the complexity of the world we live in, and a reminder that we can’t wait until every question is answered before we take action." that sentence should have been first / WTF up people / humans the smartest species on the planet can't figure out how to respond to the environmental crisis that we created / help !! somebody help us !! we're only humans !! but there are no aliens arriving to help us / we can't even find a microbe of life out there / sink or swim to use a strangely appropriate analogy we're going thru this together and it won't be a debate issue to be politicized and used to gain power it'll be hey how do we survive ??
Really interesting - the more you write, the more I find I don't know, especially about the ocean. Love the analogy about the hose for the Venturi effect - that painted a very clear picture. I think one of our biggest faults as humans is our tendency to compartmentalize, when really what we need to understand is how very interconnected everything is.
Love this Melanie. very interesting.
A good bit of science for a Sunday morning!

Thanks Melanie, it's certainly a complex system. I really did appreciate the Ekman transport video; it helped me picture it very clearly.
