The MOSZSA hypothesis (mid-ocean ridge seismic activity as proxy for geothermal flux driving ocean circulation and temps) has a strong lagged correlation (~0.8 r-value, 1979-2018 data) with global temperatures. That's noteworthy and worth studying for natural variability. It's viewed as incorrect for primary recent warming because: - Quantified geothermal variations from ridge seismicity are ~0.001 W/m² or less—orders of magnitude below CO₂ radiative forcing (~2.5 W/m² since 1750) or observed ocean heat uptake (~0.6-1 W/m² equivalent). - Earth's measured top-of-atmosphere imbalance and full-depth ocean warming match GHG physics, not redistribution alone. - Physics-based models replicate the trend, Arctic amplification, and El Niño patterns without it; multiple regression often drops CO₂ due to collinearity but seismic isn't independently validated as dominant in broader lit. Natural factors (solar, oceans, geothermal baseline) play roles, but data points to human forcing as the main sustained driver. Correlation here doesn't override energy budget.






An emotional Marcus Hill after Texas A&M's season-ending loss to Houston in the second round of the NCAA Tournament: "It meant a lot to me. I loved this season."

Big thanks to Texas A&M’s communications folks for getting the local media that traveled to OKC some extra time with Bucky McMillan tonight. Got some great answers about an impressive first season of the Bucky Ball era and what to expect moving forward. More of that soon on KBTX.com.
