The steroids aren't the problem with climate scientists. They are so full of chit it has backed up into their brains producing delusional manic depressive psychotic states. They clearly need an enema ASAP.

Watched the latest Nova documentary last night that showed a segment dealing with satellite imaging of algal blooms produced from sediment from river deltas throughout the world. Apparently most of the oxygen we breathe comes from these algal blooms that are produced from rainfall washing nutrients from the land into the ocean. Lots of other interesting world processes viewed from space.

Worth a look.

Program Description

"Earth From Space" is a groundbreaking two-hour special that reveals a spectacular new space-based vision of our planet. Produced in extensive consultation with NASA scientists, NOVA takes data from earth-observing satellites and transforms it into dazzling visual sequences, each one exposing the intricate and surprising web of forces that sustains life on earth. Viewers witness how dust blown from the Sahara fertilizes the Amazon; how a vast submarine "waterfall" off Antarctica helps drive ocean currents around the world; and how the Sun's heating up of the southern Atlantic gives birth to a colossally powerful hurricane. From the microscopic world of water molecules vaporizing over the ocean to the magnetic field that is bigger than Earth itself, the show reveals the astonishing beauty and complexity of our dynamic planet.
