Believers in what? Looks like "60 minutes" is now the authority for
peer reviewed "Climate Change" science.

Yes Ian, believers in what?
Even the United States Republican Party accepts that climate change is happening. Last
week the US Senate voted 98-1 that "It is the sense of the Senate that climate
change is real and not a hoax."

Hello Laurie
Not wanting to upset "the believers", I cannot help but wonder if these researchers ever considered that a decline of Antarctic Krill could be caused by the exponential increase of Cetaceans that has occurred over the past two decades. Is it true that a current population estimate of just one species, the humpback whale has now reached 80,000 individuals? About five years ago, the population estimate at that time had increased to 35,000 animals?
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cetaceans#Global_Population_Estimates or http://whaleone.com.au/whale-facts/
As a part time researcher from a time nearing the end of the commercial whaling era when it was rare to sight a large whale in Australian waters, I occasionally pondered the effects on the pelagic world from competition on the basic marine food source impacted by the presence or absence of Cetaceans.
My conclusion was that you cannot have your krill and eat it too.
