You are really reeking on my nerves tonight. What he is saying is that they have proved it is not happening because of increased water temperatures because in the years that water temperatures are their highest it is still happening.
Each year water temperatures fluctuate, some years they are cooler, some years they are warmer.
In the years that water temperatures are warmer they would not expect the blooms to do so well as to become boom blooms.
So at this EXACT point they can determine that INCREASED WATER TEMPERATURES IN SOME YEARS are not a contributing cause. Those years have nothing to do with any global warming, it has everything to do with what the temperatures above surface are. Just like here, last year the lake waters were cooler because we had less days with temperatures in the nineties, if we had more temperatures in the nineties than the eighties we'd had warmer lake temperatures.
Just as they can say WHEN WATER TEMPERATURES ARE COOLER is not producing the boom bloom effect.
YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY? BECAUSE THEY CANCEL EACH OTHER OUT AS THE CAUSE BECAUSE REGARDLESS, okay lets say that again, REGARDLESS, that's
R- E- G- A- R- D- L- E- S- S
of the water temperature the boom blooms persist.
So this entire article is based on the elimination of water temperatures as ANY means of a cause, the search for a different cause, hence increase deforestation and fertilization......why? because deforestation effects climate change and ocean circulations that happen to be carrying the seeds and the extra fertilization that are producing the boom blooms to spread far and wide past their normal boundaries. That is why they are probably here to stay....because it's man made and man doesn't seem to want to correct his behavior.
