Weeeelll... There is the continuing arctic «death spiral»... and there is the Trumpster's soon to be announced decision on whether to stay in the Paris Agreement... and what
about that ice sheet that is «very close» to breaking away from Antarctica... Oh, yeah, I guess those things aren't really happening yet.
Scientific Discipline Cryosphere Speaker Eric Rignot (NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory) Abstract Modern views of ice sheets provided by satellites, airborne surveys, in situ data and paleoclimate records while transformative of glaciology have not fundamentally changed concerns
about ice sheet stability and collapse that emerged in the 1970's.
Or we could talk some more
about ice sheet stability.
Although the Pliocene climate comparison does tell us something
about ice sheet climate sensitivity, it does not tell us very much about the speed at which such a large sea level rise could occur.
Why do the folks talking
about ice sheet melt, talk about «global temperature», when what affects the ice melt / ice dynamics is the temperature adjacent to the ice?
The question of when does this start is not really addressed in this paper that I can find, and has been addressed only peripherally in most of the papers
about ice sheet instability that I have seen.
You should call some Floridians or Louisianans and ask them: would you care if melting ice on Greenland or West Antarctica submerges more than half of your state even if it wouldn't occur for another 100 to 1,000 years (there's a lot we don't know
about ice sheet dynamics).
Dan, I know virtually nothing
about ice sheet dynamics but even I can understand that, even assuming no lubrification or sliding at the base, lateral ice flow is not going to be caused by the weight of the ice at the center.
GPS and seismic measurements together provide a means to answer critical questions
about ice sheet behavior in a warming world.
This in turn will provide a means to answer critical questions
about the ice sheet's behavior in a warming world.
Now the trend may be going in the other direction with new data
about ice sheets, although a lot more research is needed, he said.
Lack of knowledge
about the ice sheets and their behavior is the primary reason that projections of global sea level rise includes such a wide range of plausible future conditions.
Statements such as «They come to believe models are real and forget they are only models» reveals he has never had a conversation with a climate modeller — our concerns
about ice sheets for instance come about precisely because we aren't yet capable of modelling them satisfactorily.
(And also this thread is properly
about ice sheets which is something else again entirely.)
Please don't talk
about ice sheets and sea level.
«If you mention sea level rise to some people, they think
about the ice sheets melting and dumping water into the ocean,» said climatologist Glenn Milne of the University of Ottawa in Canada, who was not involved in the research.
Lomborg, however, doesn't just cherry pick — he misrepresents what the IPCC said and he misstates the facts
about the ice sheets and his (or at least Denmark's) beloved Greenland.
