Sentences with phrase «amplified polar warming»

Eli Rabett January 26, 2014 at 9:48 pm Angech, you are completely wrong, amplified polar warming has been a major area of study for at least twenty years as all the IPCC reports show

Not exact matches

It is not that the polar regions are amplifying the warming «going on» at lower latitudes, it is that any warming going on AT THE POLES is amplified through inherent positive feedback processes AT THE POLES, and specifically this is primarily the ice - albedo positive feedback process whereby more open water leads to more warming leads to more open water, etc. *** «Climate model simulations have shown that ice albedo feedbacks associated with variations in snow and sea - ice coverage are a key factor in positive feedback mechanisms which amplify climate change at high northern latitudes...»

It is not that the polar regions are amplifying the warming «going on» at lower latitudes, it is that any warming going on AT THE POLES is amplified through inherent positive feedback processes AT THE POLES, and specifically this is primarily the ice - albedo positive feedback process whereby more open water leads to more warming leads to more open water, etc..

The findings reinforce suggestions that strong positive ice — temperature feedbacks have emerged in the Arctic15, increasing the chances of further rapid warming and sea ice loss, and will probably affect polar ecosystems, ice - sheet mass balance and human activities in the Arctic...» *** This is the heart of polar amplification and has very little to do with your stated defintion of amplifying the effects of warming going on at lower latitudes.

But the models fail to capture the polar - amplified cooling in the Arctic from 1945 to 1975 (upper right - hand graph), and they definitely do not show the polar - amplified warming that occurred from 1914 to 1945 (lower left - hand graph).

«In this condition, the ice sheet will continue to absorb more solar energy in a self - reinforcing feedback loop that amplifies the effect of warming,» wrote Ohio State polar researcher Jason Box on the meltfactor.org blog.

As can be seen, there has been a cooling trend - granted, a very tiny -0.04 °C / century, but it remains far removed from the IPCC's unicorn science of «amplified» and dangerous polar warming.

The IPCC's climate science has long claimed that human CO2 emissions are producing an accelerated global warming, with a «runaway» warming trend, which is then being amplified in the north and south polar extremes.

Climate change signals are amplified in polar regions and indicators, such as the collapse of ice shelves and melting of sea ice, have raised public awareness of the consequences of a warming world.

The research explains that there is an «amplifying feedback» as polar ice melts, because as more freshwater enters the ocean, it traps warmer sea water, which melts more ice.
