Our cooling world

[skookumchuck]

It's also abut flow and how the water mixes with the huge amount of water already in the Hudson's Bay and Arctic ocean. There's also the salinity issue, fresh water freezes at a higher temperature, so even if it's warmer going into the ocean, it could actually cool things down a bit by freezing sooner and acting to reflect more sunlight. Open water absorbs about 90% of sunlight and clean ice reflects about the same amount.

Global Warming is the radiative forcing of the atmosphere by the increase of greenhouse gases and other human activities, climate change is the result.

Weather and climate are the result of hugely complex interactions, all we can say with confidence is that changing the radiative balance by keeping more solar radiation in the global system longer is that it will drive it into a different and most likely more energetic state. Which is likely why things have been so chaotic in the last decade or so, and why it's most likely going to get worse before it gets better. There's at least three decades of heating before the atmosphere comes back into radiative balance and that gets extended every year as we put more CO2 into the atmosphere.

What we're seeing now is probably tame compared to what's coming.

No doubt. It will get colder again. Most of us don't have a problem with the current ice age receding a bit more.

It would definitely have an effect as bullsh*t is generally warm, BUT is there enough of it to heat the Arctic Ocean? Some days I think so! -

Alright you two warm earthiers at the tables -FREEZE!!

I sincerely hope I can afford to retire to a place where they don't have a word for snow in their vocabulary.

Ncie concession speech. Thanks for showing up.

Yep, but you may have to trade it off for monsoon, typhoon, hurricane, tornado! -

All pretty good British Fighter aircraft...:lol:

Daughter called from London, ON and said it's been snowing so much that church was cancelled this morning. Guess she attended Beside Baptist today.

 

[Walter]

My daughter lives in the west end of London, ON and got 3 feet of global warming dumped on her yesterday. Here's a photo taken out her front window as the snow was coming down.

Holy crap there's a lot of ice in the Antarctic.

 

[darkbeaver]

Should a melting planet have that much ice?

You're still missing the basics Walter: weather and climate aren't the same thing. The climate IS warming, and one consequence of that is more and greater weather extremes.

Well done.
You're a good soldier.

The big question here relates to whether or not humanity is the driver of this change, not if the weather/climate is changing

We are in an ice age and we are primed to go back into a full on continental glaciation.

My dear Captain, that man affects climate is indisputable. Is he prepared to sacrifice some creature comforts to help remedy the problem is the real question.
