This still leaves an ocean blip, and i think one needs to have some form of ocean blip to explain the land blip (via either some common forcing, or ocean forcing land, or vice versa, or all of these).
Growth in the world economy, increased fossil fuel emissions since 2000 and a decline in the efficiency of the ocean and land 'sinks' to absorb carbon emissions.
The argument that cyberspace is somehow different because it is man made forgets that it is built upon natural wave forms, human emotions, electrons, protons, and neutrons just like the ocean, land, and air.
Our ocean, the land that washes down to her, and the people that earn their sustenance from the sea, deserve this change.
While fewer species live in the ocean than on land, marine life represents much older evolutionary lineages that are fundamental to our understanding of life on Earth, Appeltans says.
ENGADGET: Scientists estimate at least one third of marine species remain unknown to humans
Wind tends to blow more forcefully and uniformly over the ocean than on land, providing the potential for increased electricity generation and smoother, steadier operation than land-based wind power systems.

Generations have crossed land and ocean because of the belief that, in America, all things are possible.
They then used that proxy data, which they dubbed the Paleo Index (PI) and compared it to the merged land-ocean surface temperature (MLOST) records developed by the National Climactic Data Center.
FORBES: New Study Shows Independent Evidence Of Global Warming
The cold waters mean a large temperature contrast between the land and ocean -- conditions that favor the formation of a strong inversion layer that traps smog over cities, such as the Los Angeles, Calif.
The Geographic pole is the top of the axis on which the earth spins, the Magnetic pole is where the compass points to, and the Arctic pole is the point on the Arctic Ocean furthest from any land.
This at a time when permitting of offshore drilling has been slowed to a near halt, oil rigs are being displaced to foreign locations by government regulators, and vast land and ocean oil and gas reservoirs, including oil shale deposits, have been put off-limits altogether.
This phenomenon, called Arctic amplification, occurs as highly reflective Arctic ice and snow melt away, allowing dark land and exposed ocean to absorb more sunlight.
CNN: Warmest Arctic temperatures for 2,000 years, says new study
Yet taken together it forms a fascinating survey of the ways different artists have responded to the same set of givens: the land, the ocean, the dome of sky above and the uniquely glimmering light.

Ocean hits are worse than land hits, not just because of immense tidal waves, but because of the vast quantities of super-heated water vapor and dust that spread from the impact to shroud the entire Earth.
This Earth Day, keep in mind that each of us affects everyone else on Earth, because we all share the land, the ocean and especially the air on what is proving to be a pretty small planet.
We have low population density, clean air, fresh water, fertile land, an ocean on either side and a grand total of two nations on our borders. (One of which is a also a huge, stable and peaceful nation with clean air, fresh water, and fertile land and even lower population density).
There were several keynote speakers throughout the week, giving presentations that looked into different forms of mining, whether it on dry land or in the ocean, challenges of mining in arctic climates and responsible environmental mining among others.
It is also a windswept, unwelcoming crumb of land, floating in open ocean far from anywhere and covered with razor-sharp limestone and petrified coral.
This year, the Summit Series moved off land and took to the ocean on a cruise ship for a conference dubbed the Summit at Sea.

The ambitious project is being built on three and half square miles of land reclaimed from the Atlantic Ocean and is expected to provide accommodation for 250, 000 people and employment opportunities for a further 150, 000.
The map above shows the amount of land lost in Egypt if the ocean rises by 1.5 metres.
Antarctica is surrounded by a very cold and turbulent ocean, whose massive thermal capacity (compared to land) drastically reduces warming, compared to what we see in our hemisphere.
The Indian Ocean was displayed as a large sea surrounded by land, while many of his measurements of longitude (something that was very hard to measure accurately until John Harrison's timepiece won a famous competition in the 18th century) were way off beam.

The new species discovery rate is still increasing for species in the Ocean, while this is no longer the case on Land.
Ocean life represents older evolutionary lineages then life found on land.
Aerial photographs from the descent show drainage channels apparently flowing off land into what seems to be a dark ocean, possibly composed of some tarry substance.

That raises the heightened concern that, despite public U.S. proclamations that they would be hesitant to shoot down a North Korean missile launched over the ocean unless it appeared to be heading toward a known land-based target, such a shoot-down is still possible.
