Oh how I love my sweet life,

But—why’s the sea so warm?

Hi, apologies for the random comment, but we have just started an ambitious new community website based around our planet, and wanted to let people know who might be interested. It's at earth-forums (dot) com. We hope you like it :)

Thank you for Earth Science week NASA, as an Earth Sciences Major I really enjoyed all the videos, very easy to understand and great base knowledge for any laymen.

So great footage as well.

Cloud seeding.... Chinese love to interrupt natural water cycles important to agriculture, as pastures have locations set by historical patterns of rainfall.

Manipulation of weather can have impacts in other areas of the world.

[gregrutz]

The Chinese building a coal fired power plant every 2 weeks might not help either.

[Atoyota]

agreed although coal ash is what affects polar ice as much as additional atmospheric energy (or more).

But seeding is undermining nature for purely selfish reasons, which to me is highly evil.

[gregrutz]

''undermining nature for purely selfish reasons''

Like when we plow the plains and plant wheat, selfish?

[Atoyota]

I feel you understand the difference.

Now had you mentioned clear-cutting forest for that purpose, I'd agree with you

[gregrutz]

Where I live, they cut the trees down and then plant more trees, just like planting a field of wheat.

The lines are getting gray.

[Atoyota]

Do they replant the same specie or one that is a better faster harvest.

There really is no gray, you may easily consume spin or propaganda, but ecosystems indigenous to their region is what is best both for agriculture and environment (water included).
