A massive rise in sea level is coming, and it will trigger
climate chaos around the world.

Edward Lendner, who was director of
climate issues in a previous White House administration, wrote last week: «In what would be the single most important contingency that could impact civil society in the United States and other nations
around the world, there is no agreed upon plan for how to deal with a collapsing world in the distant future if
climate change and global warming get out of control and mass migrations northward create
chaos in both wealthy and poor countries.»
It will take me a bit of time to get my head
around it — and perhaps a little longer for a more general recognition of radical paradigm change that is central to the application of
chaos theory to weather and
climate.
So while CET can be expected to track global temperature (Lamb's thesis), this is somewhat masked by this additional regional
climate change, as reflected in the transition from regularity to
chaos in its Hale curve
around mid-18th century (one reason for preferring HadCRUT3 over CET in identifying multidecadal components of
climate change for recent centuries).
This is surely possible theoretically, since weather and
climate are nonlinear dynamic systems capable of abrupt onset of
chaos (
around some strange attractor).
It is easy to wave
chaos around, and then say you contain it deterministically, but the proof is in the pudding.The Koutsoyannis papers show experimentally that there is nothing deterministic in
climate models that have such a premise.
