Tracking Earth's Climate Change: Recent Data and Observations

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the Earth's self-stabilization and observations related to climate change. A reference to the Gaia hypothesis suggests a scientific framework for understanding these processes. The conversation emphasizes the importance of staying focused on scientific discourse rather than anecdotal happenings. A participant seeks information on the highest measured ocean pH levels, specifically between 2011 and 2013, mentioning a measurement of 7.4 in Oregon during that period. They express interest in finding additional measurements from that timeframe and inquire about resources for accessing such data, with NOAA being highlighted as a potential source for ocean acidification information.

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

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.

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?
 
Currently, historically, or in the geologic record? NOAA has this:

Note all of the very recent changes in how you get data.

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.
 
On August 10, 2025, there was a massive landslide on the eastern side of Tracy Arm fjord. Although some sources mention 1000 ft tsunami, that height represents the run-up on the sides of the fjord. Technically it was a seiche.

Hello, I’m currently writing a series of essays on Pangaea, continental drift, and Earth’s geological cycles. While working on my research, I’ve come across some inconsistencies in the existing theories — for example, why the main pressure seems to have been concentrated in the northern polar regions. So I’m curious: is there any data or evidence suggesting that an external cosmic body (an asteroid, comet, or another massive object) could have influenced Earth’s geology in the distant...
