ATLANTIC OCEAN COLLAPSE? WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT

NPR : WHEN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN CURRENT COLLAPSE  by Lauren Sommer

Excerpt: Deep in the Atlantic Ocean, there's a massive current the size of 8,000 Mississippi Rivers. Its role in the Earth's climate is so powerful that it determines weather from the equator to Europe, crop production in Africa and sea level rise on the East Coast.

SPRING - SEASONAL CHANGE - EARTH CHANGE

Spring has arrived officially on our calander with the Spring Soltice on March 20/21 2014, but spring has arrived early if you feel the warm to hot air temperature and see that some trees and plants are blooming early here in Southern California.  If it can reach 90 in early March, what will the summer be like?  Temperatures in the 100's are hard to bear and no doubt with higher air temperature comes higher water temperature in our streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans.

Much of California is in drought and there are reports of severe water shortages in areas where the farmers grow food for the entire nation.  Since they will either have to buy water from other areas or not plant, we can expect even higher food prices.

Global Warming seems to be a reality, but yet much of the United States has had a long and bitterly cold winter... so I prefer the term EARTH CHANGES or WEATHER PATTERN CHANGES.

Here at SIREN'S LINK TO SEA, ocean ecology is an important topic.

RARE DOUBLE WATERSPOUNTS FORM OFF SHORE OF HAWAII

Like the tornados that touched down in the American South last week, there are tornados at sea, called water spouts. Click on the title above to get to a video and report!

"The spouts lasted for about 12 minutes. Waterspouts can become twisters if they reach land, but are usually weak."
