Three questions arise: (a) What was the reason for the change of atmospheric conditions on Mars?

Because this climate sensitivity is derived from empirical data on how Earth responded to past changes of boundary conditions, including atmospheric composition, our conclusions about limits on fossil fuel emissions can be regarded as largely independent of climate models.

«Simply put, the shape of the ice sheet and the contact with the ocean makes it likely that these areas respond more pronouncedly to changes in climate boundary conditions — be they atmospheric, oceanic or glaciological.»

As the authors point out, even if the whole story comes down to precipitation changes which favor ablation, the persistence of these conditions throughout the 20th century still might be an indirect effect of global warming, via the remote effect of sea surface temperature on atmospheric circulation.

Because melting is so much more energetically efficient than sublimation, the main way that moderate changes in atmospheric conditions — including air temperature — affect ablation is through changing the number of hours during which melting occurs, and the amount of energy available for melting.

One minute change in the atmospheric regime can slowly effect further changes in the system and the chain reaction can occur, which, in the end, could shift a jet stream a few kilometres and create conditions possible for storm intensification, which may result in the flooding of an area where the storm would not have been or would have been greatly minimised.

It presents a significant reinterpretation of the region's recent climate change origins, showing that atmospheric conditions have changed substantially over the last century, that these changes are not likely related to historical anthropogenic and natural radiative forcing, and that dynamical mechanisms of interannual and multidecadal temperature variability can also apply to observed century - long trends.

Small changes in initial conditions drive abrupt and nonlinear change evident in many of the global ocean and atmospheric indices — and indeed in the surface temperature trajectory.

Yet, we explained there is also reasonable basis for concern that a warming world may at least temporarily increase tornado damage including the fact that oceans are now warmer, and regional ocean circulation cycles such as La Nina / El Nino patterns in the Pacific which affect upper atmospheric conditions appear to becoming more chaotic under the influence of climate change.

Therefore, the August - Roche - Magnus equation implies that saturation water vapor pressure changes approximately exponentially with temperature under typical atmospheric conditions, and hence the water - holding capacity of the atmosphere increases by about 7 % for every 1 °C rise in temperature.

The conditions of this orbital climate forcing are similar to those of today's interglacial period1, 2, and they rendered the climate susceptible to other forcing — for example, to changes in the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide.

In some locations, changes in ocean temperatures and atmospheric patterns brought about by El Niño lead to drier conditions, which increases the damage during «fire season».
