The researchers assert that the record - breaking sea ice loss from summer 2012, combined with the unusual
atmospheric phenomena observed in late October, appear to be linked to global warming.
«Although a direct causal link has not been established between
the atmospheric phenomena observed in late October 2012 and the record - breaking sea - ice loss observed during the preceding summer months, all of the observations are consistent with such an interpretation,» states the Oceanography article.

phenomenon whose time scale is more than a few months.
There can not even be an honest agreement on the «time - order» of the
phenomena we are
observing — e.g., we have numerous studies that show increases in
atmospheric CO2 follow increases in temperature and yet, AGW theory assumes the reverse as valid information from the get - go.
Similarly, UCSB researchers (results to be published in the journal Physical Review Letters) «filled the laboratory cylinders with water, and heated the water from below and cooled it from above,» to better understand the dynamics of
atmospheric circulation and «swirling natural
