2012 and Planet X LinksPlanet X Forecast and 2012 Survival Guide In the last decade, storms have begun to behave differently, doing more damage and appearing in unfamiliar places. These anomalous weather changes are the first symptoms of broader, more alarming trends in our oceans as Planet X (Nibiru, Wormwood) approaches.
Ocean currents An ocean current is any more or less continuous, directed movement of ocean water that flows in one of the Earth's oceans. Ocean Currents are rivers of hot or cold water within the ocean. Plankton Plankton are any drifting organism that inhabits the water column of oceans, seas, and bodies of fresh water. It is a description of life-style rather than a genetic classification. They are widely considered to be some of the most important organisms on Earth, due to the food supply they provide to most aquatic life. Phytoplankton Most phytoplankton are too small to be individually seen with the unaided eye. However, when present in high enough numbers, they may appear as a green discoloration of the water due to the presence of chlorophyll within their cells (although the actual color may vary with the species of phytoplankton present due to varying levels of chlorophyll or the presence of accessory pigments such as phycobiliproteins). El Niño is an oscillation of the ocean-atmosphere system in the tropical Pacific having important consequences for weather around the globe. La Niña is characterized by unusually cold ocean temperatures in the Equatorial Pacific, compared to El Niño, which is characterized by unusually warm ocean temperatures in the Equatorial Pacific.
(ENN, Environmental News Network) -- Iron deficiency, known to cause anemia in humans, disables the ability of coastal water to store the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, according to research published in the current issue of the journal Nature.

The Sunday Times online -- CLIMATE change researchers have detected the first signs of a slowdown in the Gulf Stream — the mighty ocean current that keeps Britain and Europe from freezing.
The Guardian Online -- The powerful ocean current that bathes Britain and northern Europe in warm waters from the tropics has weakened dramatically in recent years, a consequence of global warming that could trigger more severe winters and cooler summers across the region, scientists warn today.
New Scientist -- The world's second largest ice cap may be melting three times faster than indicated by previous measurements, according to newly released gravity data collected by satellites. | ||||
