Maslowski in 2007 showed for the Arctic that you show more significant changes to the ocean and sea ice, which besides
explaining why warming of surface air is lagging is the
worst possible outcome as warm surface air
by itself is relatively benign, but a restructured ocean - ice boundary system will result in major changes to coastal and continental
weather in the long run.
The extra time spent on these stories can't be
explained by an increased frequency of or interest in
bad weather, and they're rarely used in context of a discussion about climate change, Tyndall said.
