John Carter
August 8, 2014 at 12:58 am chooses to state his position on the greenhouse effect in the following 134 word sentence: «But given the [1] basics of the greenhouse effect, the fact that
with just a very small percentage of greenhouse gas molecules in the
air this effect keeps the earth about 55 - 60 degrees
warmer than it would otherwise be, and the fact that through easily recognizable if [2] inadvertent growing patterns we have at this point probably at least [3] doubled the total collective amount in heat absorption and re-radiation capacity of long lived atmospheric greenhouse gases (nearly doubling total that of the [4] leading one, carbon dioxide, in the modern era), to [5] levels not collectively seen on earth in several million years — levels that well predated the present ice age and extensive earth surface ice conditions — it goes [6] against basic physics and basic geologic science to not be «predisposed» to the idea that this would ultimately impact climate.»
«From 1910 - 1949 (pre-agricultural development, pre-DEV) to 1970 - 2009 (full agricultural development, full - DEV), the central United States experienced large - scale increases in rainfall of up to 35 % and decreases in surface
air temperature of up to 1 °C during the boreal summer months of July and
August... which conflicts
with expectations from climate change projections for the end of the 21st century (i.e.,
warming and decreasing rainfall)(Melillo et al., 2014).»
While the DA was replaced by low sea level pressure (SLP) over the Arctic Ocean in July, high pressure returned over the Beaufort Sea in
August coupled
with low pressure over Siberia, helping to compress ice towards the pole and bring
warm air into the Arctic.
In
August, higher pressure rebuilt in the Beaufort Sea together
with low SLP over Siberia, helping to compact the ice towards the pole and leading to advection of
warm, southerly
air into the Arctic.
