bozzza - The differences in the Arctic are perhaps 1/4 the ocean thermal mass as global ocean averages, small overall size (the smallest ocean), being almost surrounded by land (which
warms faster), more limited liquid interchanges due to bottlenecking than the Antarctic, and very importantly considerable susceptibility to positive albedo feedbacks; as
less summer ice is present
given current trends, solar energy absorbed by the Arctic ocean goes up very rapidly.

The 2009 State of the Climate report
gives these top indicators: humans emitted 30 billion tons of of CO2 into the atmosphere each year from the burning of fossil fuels (oil, coal, and natural gas),
less oxygen in the air from the burning of fossil fuels, rising fossil fuel carbon in corals, nights
warming faster than days, satellites show

warming are
less clear ``, our understanding of Earth's climate system is rudimentary at best, and our historical record is laughably brief, it is confounding how the IPCC can be so «extremely» sure «that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed
warming since the mid-20th century», which is «not statistically significantly different» from the natural
warming that occurred between 1910 — 1940.
Even if natural gas combustion creates approaching 50 percent
less CO2 equivalent per unit of energy produced, an amount which is well beyond best case on ghg emission reductions, it will not create the much greater emissions reductions necessary in the next 30 years to

warming from exceeding levels that will cause catastrophic impacts.

The emissions initially
give a small increase of CO2 in the atmosphere (= more pressure), which is counteracted by
less natural emissions (from the
warmer oceans) and / or more natural sinks (in colder oceans and vegetation).
The pre-Holocene climate shifts seem to be well accounted for by dynamics of glacial meltoff, freshwater discharge, and the impact on the ocean circulation... all of which is
less of an issue in an initially
warm climate, and the AR5 generation models
give no indication that the overturning circulation will be significantly impacted over the coming century.
Polar bears are one of the most sensitive Arctic marine mammals to climate
warming because they spend most of their lives on sea ice.35 Declining sea ice in northern Alaska is associated with smaller bears, probably because of
less successful hunting of seals, which are themselves ice - dependent and so are projected to decline with diminishing ice and snow cover.36, 37,38,39 Although bears can
give birth to cubs on sea ice, increasing numbers of female bears now come ashore in Alaska in the summer and fall40 and den on land.41 In Hudson Bay, Canada, the most studied population in the Arctic, sea ice is now absent for three weeks longer than just a few decades ago, resulting in
less body fat, reduced survival of both the youngest and oldest bears, 42 and a population now estimated to be in decline43 and projected to be in jeopardy.44 Similar polar bear population declines are projected for the Beaufort Sea region.45
The observed rate of
warming given above is
less than half of this simulated rate, and only a few simulations provide
warming trends within the range of observational uncertainty.
(IEA, 2012) Even if natural gas combustion creates a 50 percent
less CO2 per unit of energy produced, an amount which is beyond best case on ghg emission reductions, it will not produce the greater emissions reductions necessary in the next 30 years necessary to
give any hope of restricting
warming to potentially catastrophic levels.
When they say 28 %
less CO2 that puts it back to the pre-industrial value near 280 ppm, which is where it has been for the past millennium,
give or take 5 ppm for
warmer and cooler periods.
