But from an email conversation with Francis, Vavrus, and several other atmospheric scientists this week, it became clear that there may be more questions than answers at this point, given the large amount of natural variability that affects winter weather patterns, and the very short observational record of how the atmosphere responded to extreme losses of sea ice (only five winters of records since 2007).

The choice of works is very deliberate with the exhibition broken down into seven themes: Beauty, Power and Space, which looks at each artist's engagement with the sublime, a theme central to English Romantic art but which survived through the modernist movement and is a key feature of Twombly's paintings; Atmosphere, which considers the ways in which the three artists paint land and sea through a filter of atmospheric conditions; Naught so Sweet as Melancholy, named after a phrase in Robert Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy, where the theme of loss and memorialisation are central concerns; The Seasons which reflects upon the passage of time; Fire and Water where all three artists evince the power of the elements; The Vital Force which brings together works of a sensual or erotic nature; and finally A Floating World where each artist contemplates mortality and external events that impact on their lives.

«I predict that due to the loss of these atmospheric whirlpools, the average temperature on Jupiter will change by as much as 10 degrees Celsius, getting warmer near the equator and cooler at the poles,» says Marcus.

It seems the Warmists bet the farm on a correlation between rising atmospheric CO2 and rising temperatures in the period 1976 to 1998, and are at a loss to explain the lack of correlation since then.

Right and that fundamental is that a doubling of CO2 will increase atmospheric resistance to heat loss by about 3.7 Wm - 2 which could produce 0.8 to 1.5 C of warming depending at the surface or surfaces chosen as references.

While sea ice loss in 2012 had some atmospheric conditions supporting loss at the beginning of summer, the loss in 2012 probably was the result of thin sea ice initial conditions.

Ultimately, this vicious cycle is playing a major role in the growing losses of snow and ice from the region, said coauthor Sarah Doherty, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Washington in Seattle.

No I don't, I apply the Stern - Volmer equation which indicates that, for vibronically excited CO2 (bending mode) at atmospheric conditions near the surface, emission will be a very unlikely mode of energy loss.

Kent Moore, a professor of atmospheric physics at the University of Toronto, who published a study in 2016 linking the loss of sea ice to these warm events in the Arctic, said a number of factors may have contributed to the latest warming episode.

Until or unless the planetary body is at the same temperature as deep space there will always be energy input at the bottom of the atmospheric column (and a temperature gradient) and there will always be heat loss by radiation (or some other means like boiling off of the atmosphere) at the top of the column.

The team believes the ancient tropical warming caused large, rapid atmospheric changes at the equator, the intensification of the Pacific monsoon, sea - ice loss in the north Atlantic Ocean and more atmospheric heat and moisture over Greenland and much of the rest of the Northern Hemisphere.

Energy loss at altitude is critical for atmospheric cooling and tropospheric convective circulation.

The fossil record indicates that the past 100 years has seen species extinctions at 100 — 1,000 times the background rate (Millennium Ecosystem Assessment 2005), and among five drivers of global biodiversity loss between now and 2100 (climate change, land use change, atmospheric CO2 increases, nitrogen deposition, and species introductions), land use change — not climate change — is predicted to be the most important (Sala et al. 2000).

This report discusses our current understanding of the mechanisms that link declines in Arctic sea ice cover, loss of high - latitude snow cover, changes in Arctic - region energy fluxes, atmospheric circulation patterns, and the occurrence of extreme weather events; possible implications of more severe loss of summer Arctic sea ice upon weather patterns at lower latitudes; major gaps in our understanding, and observational and / or modeling efforts that are needed to fill those gaps; and current opportunities and limitations for using Arctic sea ice predictions to assess the risk of temperature / precipitation anomalies and extreme weather events over northern continents.

At the heart of both studies is a deeper concern about the response of the natural world to human - induced change, in the destruction of habitat, the loss of the plants, birds, insects, mammals, amphibians and reptiles that depend on habitat, and in the steady increase in atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases, as a consequence of profligate combustion of fossil fuels.
