Real Scientists: 2016’s super warm Arctic winter ‘extremely unlikely’ without AGW

AGW is real.


2016’s super warm Arctic winter ‘extremely unlikely’ without human-induced climate change, scientists say

The Arctic continues to amaze.

Hit by a second bout of extremely warm winter temperatures in recent days, the seasonal growth of floating sea ice has flattened out, just as it did when hit by similarly dramatic heat in November.

The area of the Arctic Ocean covered by sea ice is currently far smaller than it was in 2012 at this time of year. And while 2012 holds the all-time record for lowest ice extent in September, 2016 has been beating it since mid-October.

The current extent of Arctic ice sea also is far smaller than it was at the same time in 2010, which previously held the record for lowest Arctic sea ice extent in late December, according to records from the National Snow and Ice Data Center that date to 1979.

Clearly this is abnormal. But how abnormal?

The answer is that what has happened this year in the Arctic, and particularly the high Arctic, appears to be not only out of the norm for a stable climate — like the one on Earth before the era of fossil fuels — but also for what you might expect from our supercharged, artificially warmed climate.

You obviously no sweetfukall about the catostrophic history of the planet. There has never been a stable planetary climate and never can be. The climate has not warmed, it has cooled, you are an enemy of mankind and should be restricted from reproduction.

As soon as you can be netted you should be neutered.

Getting desperate to find believers.But like they say a lie is as good as the truth if you can get someone to believe it. Flossy does.

So, beachfront property on Baffin Island?

So, beachfront property on Baffin Island?

I'm hoping. Beach front resorts. With the northern peso we could compete with Mexico for tourists.

Seafloor Volcano Pulses May Alter Climate | Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory

Vast ranges of volcanoes hidden under the oceans are presumed by scientists to be the gentle giants of the planet, oozing lava at slow, steady rates along mid-ocean ridges. But a new study shows that they flare up on strikingly regular cycles, ranging from two weeks to 100,000 years—and, that they erupt almost exclusively during the first six months of each year. The pulses—apparently tied to short- and long-term changes in earth’s orbit, and to sea levels--may help trigger natural climate swings. Scientists have already speculated that volcanic cycles on land emitting large amounts of carbon dioxide might influence climate; but up to now there was no evidence from submarine volcanoes. The findings suggest that models of earth’s natural climate dynamics, and by extension human-influenced climate change, may have to be adjusted. The study appears this week in the journal Geophysical Research Letters .

“People have ignored seafloor volcanoes on the idea that their influence is small—but that’s because they are assumed to be in a steady state, which they’re not,” said the study’s author, marine geophysicist Maya Tolstoy of Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory . “They respond to both very large forces, and to very small ones, and that tells us that we need to look at them much more closely.” A related study by a separate team this week in the journal Science bolsters Tolstoy’s case by showing similar long-term patterns of submarine volcanism in an Antarctic region Tolstoy did not study.

Volcanically active mid-ocean ridges crisscross earth’s seafloors like stitching on a baseball, stretching some 37,000 miles. They are the growing edges of giant tectonic plates; as lavas push out, they form new areas of seafloor, which comprise some 80 percent of the planet’s crust. Conventional wisdom holds that they erupt at a fairly constant rate--but Tolstoy finds that the ridges are actually now in a languid phase. Even at that, they produce maybe eight times more lava annually than land volcanoes. Due to the chemistry of their magmas, the carbon dioxide they are thought to emit is currently about the same as, or perhaps a little less than, from land volcanoes—about 88 million metric tons a year. But were the undersea chains to stir even a little bit more, their CO2 output would shoot up, says Tolstoy.

The bears know exactly what to do, we don't. It's been educated out of us.

NASA - NEVER A STRAIGHT ANSWER

Scientists balk at ‘hottest year’ claims: Ignores Satellites showing 18 Year ‘Pause’ – ‘We are arguing over the significance of hundredths of a degree’ – The ‘Pause’ continues
Scientists balk at ‘hottest year’ claims: Ignores Satellites showing 18 Year ‘Pause’ –

NASA’S Gavin Schmidt has conned you! NASA climate scientists: We said 2014 was the warmest year on record… but we’re only 38% sure we were right – ‘NASA press release failed to mention this’

Yet the Nasa press release failed to mention this, as well as the fact that the alleged ‘record’ amounted to an increase over 2010, the previous ‘warmest year’, of just two-hundredths of a degree – or 0.02C. The margin of error is said by scientists to be approximately 0.1C – several times as much.

2 hundreds of a degree is signifigant though. Wait, no it isn't, kill them all, something in thier eggplant perhaps, can't thier rexercise machine be reprogrammed to choke them?

we could grease the treadmills and disconnect the emergency catapult stops
maybe too, we could aim them down the stairs for extreme hi efficiency
then when they get to the end of the skipping rope...

Well, there is a reason they call them moon landings
