The case of 'salt in the oceans' is poor choice of something we don't need to worry about. The macro mechanics of the oceans depend intimately on salinity. htt

The case of 'salt in the oceans' is poor choice of something we don't need to worry about. The macro mechanics of the oceans depend intimately on salinity. http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/conveyor.html http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/conveyor.html Messing that up would be catastrophic. It is also the sort of dynamical system susceptible to bifurcation. The conveyor could potentially invert due to a threshold change in temperature or salinity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifurcation_theory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifurcation_theory
