Im quite fascinated over how Earth is constantly trying to stabilise itself. What is your most interesting observation or 'happening' about climate change?

Of course, and of course. I just need some new inputs for research opportunities. Do you know where I can find information about the highest measured pH-level in the ocean?jim mcnamara said:@Solomei
Are you referring to the Gaia hypothesis? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_hypothesis
Otherwise please remember that we discuss science here, not whatever happenings may turn out to be posted. This kind of thread can easily veer off course. Please - let's stay on course. Thanks.
Thanks. I was thinking currently or between 2011-2013. It was measured 7.4 in Oregon between 2011-2013, a publication from Scientific Reports that I've read about, but can not find.. Interested in finding different measurements in this period, and where.jim mcnamara said:Currently, historically, or in the geologic record? NOAA has this:

Note all of the very recent changes in how you get data.
Earth's search for stability refers to the planet's natural processes and systems that work together to maintain a balanced and habitable environment. This includes the regulation of temperature, atmospheric composition, and ocean currents, among other factors.
The stability of Earth is influenced by various factors such as the distance from the sun, the composition of the atmosphere, the presence of a magnetic field, and the presence and distribution of water. Additionally, the interactions between these factors and the planet's natural processes, such as the water cycle and carbon cycle, also play a crucial role in maintaining stability.
Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, release large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to the warming of the planet. This can disrupt Earth's natural balance and lead to changes in climate patterns, sea level rise, and other environmental issues that can affect the planet's stability.
While certain disruptions to Earth's stability may be reversible, such as the healing of ozone layer depletion, others can have long-lasting effects. It is essential to take proactive measures to prevent future disruptions and mitigate the impacts of existing ones, such as reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable practices.
To work towards a more stable Earth, it is crucial to understand and monitor the planet's natural systems and processes, as well as our impact on them. This includes implementing sustainable practices, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, protecting natural habitats, and promoting conservation efforts. It also requires global cooperation and individual actions to reduce our ecological footprint and preserve the planet's stability for future generations.
