Nice post, Steve. Interesting insight.

Another thing I thought about today is regarding the oceans. A long, long time ago all oceans were clear and light colored.. Like they are in only certain parts of the world these days.. Like the caribbean areas, aruba, etc..

I remember being at the Jersey coast last summer and the ocean was like black colored..

Lighter colors reflect heat... Darker colors absorb it. I wonder if this has any impact on the warming of our oceans.
