i was reading a random piece on global warming, melting ice caps and coastline flooding across the globe, it made me wonder about things the article didnt address, the impact on ocean life. i dont know anything about ocean marine life so my questions are based on assumptions which maybe totally wrong.
ok so if the polar caps melt enough to flood major coastal cities and into major river deltas to flood signicant amts of inland, isnt that a significant amt of fresh water to dilute out the saline content of the worlds oceans, and if so how much will saline percentage drop? also how much will that affect or kill native oceam life across the globe? all i know is i have friends who keep tropical saltwater fish tanks and they say one of the things that makes taking care of these fish such a pain is that they have to be pretty careful about saline content, a little too high or low and their fish can die pretty easy. of course i dont know what are acceptable tolerances. any educated input is welcome. |

The hippies are saying that the ice caps are melting and you can now get to the north pole by boat. To disprove this the guys drive there in >2 ton trucks.

Might get a better answer on a more specific forum, rather than one about car shows

According to the sign above the urinal at uni, 99% of the water contained on Earth is salt water. Less than one third of fresh water is available for drinking...yada yada...this is why this urinal is flush-free. Yeah, better go ask the question on a dedicated forum where there there's a slim chance there actually might be a marine biologist

I dunno, i think its a little unfair and judgemental to assume that just because the people on these forums are into cars, that their education, work experience, intelligence levels are below a question of marine science. Ppl here come from all walks of life, not just average 9 - 5 workers living at home, playing the playstation in their spare time, ppl have all sorts of different interests and knowledge outside of cars.

When my fish tank gets too hot or cold, I just shove in some water to adress the balance and all's well. Do the same with the sea. Nasa just need a huge plastic measuring jug in space.

That's why i posted this question in Off Topic, because its not car related, plus, stimulating conversation on other subjects is not a bad thing, but maybe I am wrong about that.
