The first part of your description is certainly true, I don't think the magnitude of the recent
warming in the Arctic (including Greenland) is extraordinary (yet, but ask me again is a few years) when properly set against the backdrop of the last century, but I do believe that,
at least to some degree, the
warming of the Arctic (including Greenland) in recent years
has resulted from an anthropogenic enhancement to the world's greenhouse
effect.
The observed
warming is likely the result of a combined
effect: data strongly suggest that the AMO

Before allowing the temperature to respond, we can consider the forcing
at the tropopause (TRPP) and
at TOA, both reductions in net upward fluxes (though
at TOA, the net upward LW flux is simply the OLR); my point is that even without direct solar heating above the tropopause, the forcing
at TOA can be less than the forcing
at TRPP (as explained in detail for CO2 in my 348, but in general, it is possible to bring the net upward flux
at TRPP toward zero but even with saturation
at TOA, the nonzero skin temperature requires some nonzero net upward flux to remain — now it just depends on what the net fluxes were before we made the changes, and whether the proportionality of forcings
at TRPP and TOA is similar if the
effect has not approached saturation
at TRPP); the forcing
at TRPP is the forcing on the surface + troposphere, which they must
warm up to balance, while the forcing difference between TOA and TRPP is the forcing on the stratosphere; if the forcing
at TRPP is larger than
at TOA, the stratosphere must cool, reducing outward fluxes from the stratosphere by the same total amount as the difference in forcings between TRPP and TOA.
In particular, we
have a very strong reason to connect GHG's to observed
warming, and multiple lines of physics and data for bracketing the magnitude of this
effect — which all but relegates GCM's to the trivial - influience -
at - best bin.
In this regard, I
would observe that
at least one important AGW effect, rising sea level, does not depend on a specific regional outcome so much as on global mean T. (At least, I think this is so (because my understanding is that most of the rise comes from lower density of warmer water, not from melting ice sheets — though again, not 100 % sure on this point)-RRB

Keeping within a sufficiently small range of wavelengths that the
effects discussed in 438 can be set aside, What such band widenning
would do, without a surface temperature increase, is simply increase the range of wavelengths
at which the same temperature variation accomplishes the same spectral fluxes through the band, thus not changing OLR within the band — the
warming that results from such band - widenning should thus tend to increase the OLR within the band.
It's necessary to remember solar changes are known to
have limited
effects on
warming maximising out
at less than half a degree.
Where you then
have a talik, from this combination of geological and radiative forces, and then there is plenty of free gas underneath that can migrate out easily through pathways once there are such tears, and then you add on top of all that that it is a seismically active zone, one can easily see how global
warming could greatly amplify the
effects of an earthquake
at that fault zone.
This
would actually not be true
at sufficiently high latitudes in the winter hemisphere, except that some circulation in the upper atmosphere is driven by kinetic energy generated within the troposphere (small amount of energy involved) which, so far as I know, doesn't result in much of a global time average non-radiative energy flux above the tropopause, but it does
have important regional
effects, and the result is that the top of the stratosphere is
warmer than the tropopause
at all latitudes in all seasons so far as I know.
Warming must occur below the tropopause to increase the net LW flux out of the tropopause to balance the tropopause - level forcing; there is some feedback at that point as the stratosphere is «forced» by the fraction of that increase which it absorbs, and a fraction of that is transfered back to the tropopause level — for an optically thick stratosphere that could be significant, but I think it may be minor for the Earth as it is (while CO2 optical thickness of the stratosphere alone is large near the center of the band, most of the wavelengths in which the stratosphere is not transparent have a more moderate optical thickness on the order of 1 (mainly from stratospheric water vapor; stratospheric ozone makes a contribution over a narrow wavelength band, reaching somewhat larger optical thickness than stratospheric water vapor)(in the limit of an optically thin stratosphere at most wavelengths where the stratosphere is not transparent, changes in the net flux out of the stratosphere caused by stratospheric warming or cooling will tend to be evenly split between upward at TOA and downward at the tropopause; with greater optically thickness over a larger fraction of optically - significant wavelengths, the distribution of warming or cooling within the stratosphere will affect how such a change is distributed, and it would even be possible for stratospheric adjustment to have opposite effects on the downward flux at the tropopause and the upward flux a
